2020 APPEAL FOR THE POOR
The CCS Appeal for the Poor Campaign kicks off this weekend. We encourage you to watch the video above and prayerfully consider how you might join the thousands of volunteers and staff this year in supporting our neighbors in need. Is it through prayer, advocacy, volunteerism, or a generous donation?

For those who have never given, an anonymous donor has given $10,000 to incentivize new parish donors. The first 100 new households who give at least $100 will have $100 of their gift matched - doubling your impact! Your gift, no matter the amount, will help provide Hope & Light this holiday season.
STEWARDSHIP
Have you returned your Stewardship Pledge Card? If you haven't had time to fill it out and send it in could you please take a little bit of time to do so? We are making plans to send out reminder letters and it will save us time and money if you're able to mail yours in. We so appreciate your generosity!
YEAR END TAX DONATIONS
All monetary donations for 2020 need to be in the parish office or postmarked by December 31 in order to be applied to this calendar year. The parish office will be closed between Christmas and New Year’s Day.
WELCOME TO OUR FAITH COMMUNITY!
