FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK….

This weekend at Sacred Heart in Yonkers, we have the in-pew solicitation for the Archdiocesan Stewardship Appeal, formerly called the Cardinal’s Appeal. Our parish goal for the appeal is $54,000. I perceive this to be an achievable goal for the parish. If you have not already received a mailing from the Stewardship Appeal Office, you will receive it the near future.

The monies raised through this Appeal, will assist the Archdiocese in subsidizing valuable programs such as the Priest Retirement Fund, Saint Joseph’s Seminary, Catholic Elementary Schools, including our own, and centers for social outreach to the needy

. I would encourage parishioners to consider making a gift or a pledge. A one time gift is commendable; however a pledge could ease the burden of contributing to this worthy cause by extending the gifting period to a possible 5 months. Please consider participating in this Year’s Appeal. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Fr. Moe
