Next weekend is Announcement Sunday for the Archbishop’s Catholic Appeal.  Each year, the families of our parish make pledges to Archbishop Caput for the work of the Church in Northern Colorado in union with our sister parishes across the Archdiocese.  At the Masses next weekend, Fr. Lorenzo and I will announce this vital campaign and ask you to be as generous as you are able.  This appeal represents a real financial sacrifice for each of us, yet the ACA is our opportunity to show our love and support for Archbishop Charles and the ministry done by the Archdiocese in our name.  The ACA goal for this year is $8.2 million Archdiocesan-wide, and our parish share of this goal for 2009 is $110,000.  Fr. Lorenzo and I thank you for your generosity!
