THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU: Even in the midst of economic upheaval, the Christmas collection at the parish was the biggest in a few years --
$11,396 as of this writing. Parishioners also reached out in response to the Christmas appeal letter:
$3,067 as of this writing. Separate from these, parishioners also made restricted gifts to support our church landscaping and music ministry.
And, as a nice Christmas surprise, we received a check from the Diocese of Metuchen for nearly
$3,000 as a rebate for surpassing our 2020 Bishop's Annual Appeal goal. In a year of tough financial news for the parish, this was a welcome relief.
Thanks to all who made gifts small or big, to those who encouraged giving, and to Fr. John Pringle for his role in steering the Bishop's Annual Appeal successfully during the first wave of the pandemic.
