ONE HUNDRED YEARS CELEBRATION OF THE DIOCESE OF FALL RIVER CATHOLIC CHARITIES APPEAL 2004 As the Diocese celebrates its one hundredth anniversary, we see the many ways that the Church needs to be present to care for the needs of people of all creeds and races. The state is cutting back its funding of many projects which make the needy more needy. Parishioners are asked to increase their contributions to the Appeal this year. Because it is the one hundredth anniversary of the Diocese, parishioners who have not given one hundred dollars to the Appeal in the past are asked to do so this year. Pledges are accepted so that the payment of the one hundred dollars doesn’t become a burden. Last year St. James went over its previous year’s total. It is hoped that this will happen again this year. Although everyone is feeling the effects of the budget crisis, this is the time to be thankful for all the benefits that God has given to us. Let us shown our gratitude to God by caring for the poor. You are asked to mail your donation with the Appeal card to the rectory; put it through the mail slot; or put it in the collection. YES, THERE WILL BE A PARISH FESTIVAL THIS YEAR IN AUGUST.AUGUST 6, 7,8 2004 |
