Donations are welcome, made in memory of loved ones or as a thanksgiving.
If you mail a check, please remember to specify the intention of your gift. All gifts will be acknowledged in the Easter service leaflets, so please print names clearly. So far, prepaid pledges have kept us afloat, but they will not continue to do so. It would be appreciated if all who are behind in their pledged giving would make a serious effort to catch up soon, and if all of us would try to keep our pledge payments as close to being on schedule as possible. If there is a previously unanticipated problem with meeting your pledge, please have a chat with Mother Coffey or Parish Treasurer John Hillman about it.
