Each month this page appears in the bulletin to thank all those who have given to this year’s Catholic Ministries Ap- peal. Names are added to the page as we receive pledges at the parish office or as we receive notice from the diocese that pledges have been received there. This Roster of Appreciation lists all donors throughout the campaign with each month’s new pledges being appended to them in bold print. Names appear alphabetically (note: if you wish not to be listed, please indicate so on your card and we will include your gift under “Anonymous”). No individual pledge amounts are shown, just the average gift given thus far in the campaign. If you made a pledge and still do not see your name, please let us know so that we can veri- fy with the CMA Office at the Diocese that your pledge was credited to Peace of Christ Parish. Every now and then a pledge is miscoded and gets applied to some other parish’s goal until we discover the error —another reason for this list. The campaign ends May 31, 2017, and though we have already reached our goal in pledges, we are truly hoping to have over 50% of our parish be contributors to this appeal which supports ministries and services for us all. Just drop your completed pledge card (as received in the mail or obtained in the church vestibule) into the Sunday collection or into the mail. Thanks so very much! Now, gifts which have helped us so greatly and been received thus far include the following:

The average gift thus far is $248.79 , and we're at 121.52% of our goal, guaranteeing half back to the parish of all that will yet be received. The above names represent 30.8% of our parishioners (WE'D LIKE TO GET THIS UP AT LEAST TO 50%, SO IF YOU HAVEN'T YET PARTICIPATED IN THIS YEAR'S APPEAL, PLEASE DO SO SOME TIME THIS WEEK. THANKS!) God's blessings, all! Raised in Christ is this year’s theme. I thank you for being so timely in sending in your support for this year’s Ap- peal! One -half of all gifts given from this point onward will be able to remain right here in the parish for our local ministerial needs. May well over 50% of all our parishioners be Raised in Christ in supporting the work of the Church!
