Bishop's Annual Appeal

We are taking up a second collection to retire a debt to the diocese on the portion of the Bishop's Annual Appeal that was not received directly from our parishioners. As mentioned earlier, now every parish is assessed a certain amount, given directly by the parishioners to the diocese in the annual appeal, and if the amount assessed is not met, then the parish coffers must pay the rest, so that the entire diocese will have given a certain amount towards projects in the diocese. The total amount goal for the diocese is $800,000 this past year. Our assessed amount is $6,953.00. The amount collected was $2117.00, thus the remainder is $4,836, due on June 1st. Your help is deeply appreciated. What is not collected in the collection will be taken from the parish savings.
