Thanks again for your generous support of DSA. We’re halfway there at $37,720, wow! Your willingness to help those in need is admirable and we thank you for that. Please help if you haven’t gotten around to it yet, and give a little nudge to a family member or friend who may not have contributed yet. The people of our diocese and those we serve beyond our parishes are counting on our help!
Easter Blessings,
Fr. Tom
