Our parish goal for the Annual Catholic Appeal 2021 is $45,947.00. In his annual World Day of Peace message, our Holy Father, Pope Francis, spoke of “A Culture of Care as a Path to Peace.” He called on us, Catholics, to care for one another as we promote human dignity, seek the common good, develop solidarity among people and nations, and care for and protect creation itself. By taking action, we can become the compass pointing to a common path for peace and a more humane future. This year, you can be part of the “Culture of Care” by participating in the 2021 Annual Catholic Appeal and directly impacting thousands of lives in Brooklyn and Queens. Your donation will allow us to build a better future for the Church while addressing the present needs of those in our communities, which no one parish or parishioner can do alone. During Masses across our diocese and at our parish in the coming weeks we will conduct a commitment weekend asking for the support of all who are able. You may make your gift by texting the word “ACA” to 917-336-1255 or online at annualcatholicappeal.org You may also call 718-965-7375 ext. 1602 and have a pledge card mailed to your home. We are grateful to our parishioners who have already made a generous commitment to the 2021 Annual Catholic Appeal.
