St. Francis de Sales Parish

Dear Parish Family,

We have just received from the diocese the second installment check for the Bishop’s Annual appeal – $33,307 which will go to the Organ Fund. THANK YOU again for your continued generosity, and for fulfilling your pledges so well in a difficult economic climate. The Bishop has asked me to express his thanks as well for your generosity in meeting the Bishop’s Annual Appeal goal and thereby helping so many important projects in the diocese, including the formation of our three parish seminarians. »»
