From Father Mazza -
With this letter, I formally initiate the Archdiocesan Annual Appeal (AAA) for 2022 in our parish. As a priest for forty years, I can readily testify to the need for this campaign to support financially the ministry that unites all of the parishes in the Archdiocese of San Francisco. Ministries such as Faith Formation, Human Life and Dignity, Marriage and Family Life, Youth Ministry, and many more, benefit from your donations. There is a tremendous harvest awaiting the response of faithful laborers. Each is called to do his or her part. I am counting on you to come through once again for the glory of God.
Our assessment for this year (2022) comes to $56,616. In 2021 our goal was $69,653, out of that amount $62,680 was raised directly from your generous gifts to the campaign. Well done! The balance of $6,973 was taken from our operating budget. Thank you for your special generosity considering the financial stress caused by the pandemic. Nevertheless, let us strive to raise 100% of our goal in 2022.
On behalf of all those who benefit from your kindness I express to you my sincere and heartfelt thanks. If you are able to donate or are unable to donate, make sure that you are part of our prayer army. God bless you! Mary love you!
Yours in the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
Fr. Mark G. Mazza, Pastor
