Mission Fundraiser Garnishes more $$$

by Dave Hagan

Yesterday we reported to you a generous offer of $500 contingent on a matching $500 pledge.

Another generous parishioner has met that pledge and another made a pledge of $100 in hopes that with other pledges they
would be able to match the $500.  We give thanks for their generosity and ability to give.  We are well on our way to raising the $3500 needed to build a new home for a Belizean family.  While $500 no longer hangs in the balance, we certainly will continue to accept gifts towards this cause.  Thanks again.
