The 2022 Bishop’s Annual Appeal has concluded and we likely have received our last report on its outcome. I am very pleased to share that both the Diocese and St. Mary’s reached their Appeal goals. Goal: $370,000 Amount Pledged: $418,308 (113.5% of goal) Amount Received: $416,708 (112.6% of goal) Participants: 152 By surpassing our goal by $46,708, St. Mary’s can expect to receive a rebate of a little over $23,000. My deep thanks to all who participated in the Appeal. Your gifts, combined with those of other parishes, will make a positive impact on the spiritual and pastoral needs of so many. “You will be enriched in every way for all generosity.” (2 Cor. 9:11) -Msgr. Benwell
