Dear parishioners,

Thank you for all of you who participate in our ACA last year. We had a successful ACA last year. We reached our goal and also received about a $10,000.00 rebate from the archdiocese. This rebate amount helped a lot with our budget. Another number that I wish we can increase and doing better is the numbers of participation. We had only about 7% participate. About 300 out of about 5000 registered members participated. I understand the resistance of supporting the archdiocese after the mess of a costly and shameful bankruptcy.

As we all know, St. Jude and the archdiocese are one. We cannot exist and function without the archdiocese. We support the archdiocese as we support St. Jude. So I ask and challenge all of us to participate in this year’s ACA. For sure I will participate in this year’s ACA. I will update you regularly about the progress of the program. We need the success of this program and many other programs to continue and to maintain all the wonderful ministries in our parish. I will share with you more about different programs and ministries in our parish.

Thank you and God bless you and your family for your generosity to support our archdiocese and our parish.

Fr. Tri
