You should have received a letter or postcard from Bishop Jugis asking for your generous support of the DSA. Next weekend we will view the DSA video, so we can all have an understanding of how the funds given to the DSA impact our diocese. Our priests will then explain how the appeal can directly impact you. Bishop Jugis asks each of us to prayerfully consider a gift to the DSA as a way of serving Christ through service to thousands of Catholics in western North Carolina. We would like to thank all who help us exceed our goal in 2018. Because of your support, our parish received the amount that exceeded our assessment, which was over $20,000! We had over 450 of our families participate. Our assessment for 2019 is $107,489. Please consider contributing this year, whether it’s a one time donation or a monthly installment.
