From the desk of Father... Page 2 February 18, 2018 DDF 2018 Dear Parishioners, We once again begin our yearly campaign for the Diocese Development Fund (DDF). First off, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all of you who donated for 2017. Although our pledges were short of the goal, we achieved the total because of our Maintenance Fund donations going through the DDF. You should have received a letter in the mail along with the pledge card within the last two weeks. If you did not receive one please contact Colleen at (951) 686-4004 and she can send you one. Hopefully this year we can have all parishioners make a pledge to the DDF, our Goal is: $45,200.00. During this Lenten season we ask you to pray over it and have God guide you.
