ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL
Our sincere thanks for your generosity during the 2014 Annual Catholic Appeal. Your gifts and pledges will
have a lasting impact on or ability to serve the People of God here in Brooklyn and Queens.
As of April 8th our parish had 108 pledges for a total of $27,398, which represents 60% of our parish goal
($53,901). This means that less than 10% of our registered parish families have already pledged almost 50% of our
parish goal! Your generosity is crucial to providing vital pastoral, charitable and educational ministries throughout the
Diocese and all gifts, great or small, help us to do God’s work. We thank ALL who have pledged so far and urge
every family to make an effort to support the Appeal.
May God bless each one of us for responding to this call with so much enthusiasm and generosity!

Dear Parishioners,
Today we celebrate Mother’s Day, in a spirit of great joy and gratitude. We remember the love and
sacrifice of our own mothers and we pray for all mothers, living and deceased. We also thank God for
giving us the gift of the Blessed Virgin Mary to be our spiritual Mother. May she watch over and protect us!
This Tuesday, May 13th is the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, our Parish Patroness. We pray that
through her loving intercession our Risen Savior, her Son, will bless and guide our parish family.
Msgr. Mahoney

ella nos guie y nos proteja!
