Diocese of Sultanpet, Kerala in South India Mission Appeal

Next Weekend August 11th & 12th

The Diocese of Sultanpet was newly established by our Holy Father Francis in December 2013. There are now 23 major parishes with a population of nearly 31,600 Catholics with different social, ethnic & caste backgrounds. This region is considered to be economically and socially one of the most backward in the whole of South India, having high rates of illiteracy, poverty and unemployment. Offering opportunities and facilities toward basic education and creating awareness and rehabilitation to the poverty stricken and orphan children who very often experience the impact of natural disasters and epidemics are all the urgent responsibilities on the part of the Diocese. The Diocese also has a responsibility to support 35 Seminarians and with the Diocese being brand new, it needs new Churches to be built in many parishes and in mission centers where people just basically need a place for worship. A special second collection will be taken at all Masses to support this mission.

Please help support our parish in making our OCTOBER TRICKY TRAY a success!

We need PRIZES!

Do any parishioners have prizes to donate to the Tricky Tray such as event tickets, restaurant gift cards, golf foursomes, time share weeks or other new merchandise? Do you know someone who works for NBC and can get tickets to a TV show? Or a Broadway show? Do you frequent a restaurant or store where you would be willing to ask for a donation? Even small monetary donations would be a help which we could then pool to buy larger prizes!! Please call the rectory if you need a solicitation letter.
