2020/21 Catholic Services Appeal
Soon St Hubert and St James will begin our campaign for the 2020 Catholic Services Appeal. This years theme is “Anchored in Hope.” Each year we are asked to make a commitment to support the work of our Diocesan programs & ministries which provide valuable services that no one parish could provide on its own. This effort is a means by which we work together to care for the Church by sharing the gifts God has given to us. Our parish goal this year is 100% participation The targets set up by the Diocese for our parishes is as follows:
St Hubert Parish $17,605
St James Parish $21,126
Because of the challenges we have been facing due to COVID-19, members of the Finance Councils will be calling for your pledge. Please be as generous as possible with your pledge.
