As happens every year, the Archdiocese of San Francisco calls on member parishes to support the ministries and services provided by the Archdiocese. The Diocese's outreach supports the wider community and provides some support to members of our parish. More importantly, it depends on your generosity to make the services available. Parishioners at St. Vincent DePaul are called upon to join Catholics at other parishes to support the 2020 Archdiocesan Annual Appeal. Each parish receives an assessment for the current year, ours is listed below.
For 2020, SVDP's total assessment is $75,651. Through October 31st, $17,263, 23.8% of our goal, has been achieved. For what has been received, we are most grateful and say thank you for your generosity. The continuing strain that the Covid-19 pandemic has put on everyone, whether it be emotional, financial or spiritual -- including the limitation of attending Mass in-person has undoubtedly impacted the response to this year's Archdiocesan Annual Appeal. Another major factor, is that the annual mailing and return envelopes normally sent to Parishioners did not occur in 2020.
While the mailing did not go out as it had in previous years, the new weekly e-Bulletin and updated Parish website: http://www.svdp.sf.org allows you an easy and convenient method for making a donation. Or, if you prefer to send a check, please make it out to: "Archdiocesan Annual Appeal" and mail or deliver it to the Church of St. Vincent de Paul, 2320 Green Street, San Francisco, CA 94123-4623, or call Kitty Martin in the Rectory Office at (415) 922-1010 if you have any questions.
Contributing to this year's annual appeal might also be a way to recognize Father Ken's lasting legacy and the joy he brought to our hearts and the community. Please be as generous as you can.
