The Diocese constantly seeks new and innovative ways to minister, teach, and care. To continue the work of the Church into the new millennium, we must fund our schools, provide for our priests, and care for those in need. To support these important programs the Diocese is seeking the help of parishioners through the 2001 Bishop's Fund drive. Major Gifts 2. Mail Request and At-Church Weekend 3.
Major gifts are important to any campaign.
They add momentum and enthusiasm to the campaign and help ensure success. The Mail Request During the weekend of August 4 and 5 all parishioners will receive a letter from Bishop Angell outlining the 2001 Bishop's Fund and asking for a gift. Mail is a very efficient way to be sure all parishioners have a chance to make an early gift. The At-Church weekend is an opportunity for parishioners to make a gift following mass on Sunday. Personalized pledge cards will be available for everyone who has not yet made a gift.
