[FIRST PARAGRAPH FOR ALL PARISHES]
ANNUAL DIOCESAN APPEAL UPDATE
With the celebration of Thanksgiving and the season of Advent fast approaching, we would like to take this opportunity to thank the many people across the diocese who have made a prayerful gift TO the 2024 Annual Diocesan Appeal: One in Hope, One in Mission. The generosity and kindness demonstrated toward those served by the Appeal is overwhelming. We are just several gifts away from reaching our $4 million goal! Here at [PARISH NAME], we have received gifts and pledges totaling [PLEDGE AMOUNT] toward our goal of [GOAL AMOUNT]. That is [GOAL PERCENTAGE] of our goal. Thank you so much for your faithful support.
[FOR PARISHES WHICH HAVE SURPASSED THEIR GOAL]
Thank you for working together to help our parish reach and actually surpass our goal. If you have not yet made a gift, it is not too late to join with others in helping our diocesan community reach $4 million. The needs served by the Annual Diocesan Appeal always outweigh the resources – so the more we received, the more that can be accomplished in the name of Jesus Christ. To make a gift, please visit www.doy.org/appeal. Thank you again, and God bless you all.
[FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT YET MET THEIR GOAL]
To help our parish move even closer toward our goal over these final weeks of the year, please consider making a gift to the Annual Diocesan Appeal in the coming days. The time of Thanksgiving and the beginning of a new liturgical year in Advent is the perfect time to reflect on the various ways we can continue the ministry and mission of Jesus Christ. A primary way to do just that is to provide the essential resources for our brothers and sisters in need. To make a gift, please visit the www.doy.org/appeal. Thank you again, and God bless you all.
