November 25, 2018 Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe Page 2 Dear Bishop Ray: Q. I heard that we have reached our goal for the Annual Catholic Appeal. Is that true? A. Yes, as printed in last weeks bulletin, we received word that the 2018 goal has been reached. THANK YOU to all who made it happen and please be aware that any monies received over the goal come back to St. Kevin Parish. Once all the pledges are paid and the money is received, our parish gets a check for the overage. So, if you would rather the parish get your ACA donation, now is the time to help. Some how, some way, St. Kevin people always do what they need to do. I am very grateful and hope you know how much I appreciate your efforts every year to support the Diocese and its programs through the Annual Catholic Appeal? A Word of Gratitude - Thanksgiving Baskets Because of your generosity, St. Kevin Parish was able to distribute nearly 150 baskets for our sisters and brothers for Thanksgiving. You have heard the invitation to help those in need - you responded - and we are forever THANKFUL! May God bless you and your loved ones! It s that Time of Year
