Annual Catholic Appeal

My dear friends in Christ,

Next weekend is Pledge Sunday for the Annual Catholic Appeal throughout the Diocese of Trenton. Each year the Bishop seeks the support of all of the members of the diocese to further the work of our ministries. Each of us has a vital part in all we do in Christ’s name, and each of us can share in all we do with a gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal. Our single Act of Faith propels the works of love that build up our Church. You make that happen with a heartfelt and generous gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal.

This year Corpus Christi Parish’s share of the goal is $70,000.

As the people of the Diocese of Trenton, you have the opportunity to help others see Christ working in our midst. I ask you to take a moment and truly reflect on any help you can give. We truly need everyone to participate. This year the Diocese, once again, is striving to reach a goal of $7 million. What’s important to note is that when a parish collects funds equal to their goal, they receive a 15% rebate. Funds collected in excess of the parish goal will earn a 50% rebate. A parish that increases their participation by at least ten percent will receive an additional 5% rebate. I am always grateful and moved by the level of support you give to our parish. I thank you for this support, and may God continue to bless you and your family.

May God bless you all!
Fr. John
