I am impressed with how you have maintained your financial support of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church and St. Joseph Church. You are continuing to be generous with your parish and other charitable institutions. The St.Vincent de Paul Society is maintaining its mission to help those in need of food and other items. The Food Pantry continues its assistance to many families in need. For those of you who have not yet made a commitment to the Annual Diocesan Appeal I ask that you do so to continue the work of Catholic Charities and other important programs. Thanks to all of you!
Praying that God keeps you and your loved ones healthy and safe, I remain,
