Dear Brothers and Sisters, Over the years St Francis Xavier Parish has been very generous in its support for the Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal. Through the generosity of many people our seminarians have been prepared for priesthood, our Catholic schools have been helped , Catholic charities and many other organizations have been able to fulfill their missions. The parish has also benefited through the rebates for our sound system and the rectory fund. Thank you for your generosity. If you have not contributed before I could encourage you to take an envelope this weekend and consider a donation however small or great. The needs of our schools and the less fortunate are always part of our journey of faith. Without your generosity the constant calls made on the diocese cannot be met. Thank you again for your outstanding generosity. You truly are a people who have always reached out to others. Bless you. The Journey continues, Fr Karl
