Thank you Newman Hall-Holy Spirit Parish
for your support of our local diocese!
I am happy to announce as of April 30, fifty-two parishioners have donated to the 2022 Bishop’s Ministries Appeal. They have contributed $27,658 in actual and pledge amounts to the appeal. We are 70.02% of our appeal goal of $39,500. And with the $20,000 matching fund from an anonymous donor, we will reach our Appeal goal’s for the 2nd year!
It is good to know we are supporting our diocese in their good works, such as providing quality Catholic education especially for families in need, supporting our parishes with resources like HR, liturgical, and financial advice, caring for retired priests, training seminarians, providing updating workshops for priests. One particularly valuable project is the Racial Justice Task Force they set up, which our own Fr. Steven Bell, SJ has been instrumental in making a reality.
Checks can still be made out to Bishop’s Ministries Appeal (and not to Newman Hall). Do put “Newman Hall” in the Notes field so we get credited. Once we reach our goal, the excess funds gets returned back to the parish.
