Your gift benefits our retired diocesan priests and your Parish. Once a priest retires he is responsible for his own personal expenses: medical, housing, clothing, and food. All funds contributed between October 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017, help reduce the amount the parish contributes to the fund. A gift of cash or check can be sent to Perpetuate the Gift, PO Box 954, Toledo, OH 43697 or placed in the parish collection. A gift may also be made online at www.toledodiocese.org. If you would like to give a gift of stock or designate a bequest to help our retired priests, please contact Christopher Holinski at 419.214.4951 or email at cholinski@toledodiocese.org Notre Dame Academy (Grades 7-12) invites you to their 2017 Open House on Sunday, November 5 from 11 a.m. 2 p.m. at 3535 W.
