HOPE APPEAL 2021

“YOU ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH”

        Hope Appeal has begun and will conclude December 31, 2021.

 Together, when we pledge  our gift to the Annual HOPE Appeal, we are giving thanks to Christ for the innumerable gifts we’ve been given and helping our friends and neighbors who benefit each year from the diocesan good works funded through our annual appeal.

We ask all parishioners to contribute to this year’s HOPE Appeal.

If we all give, we will easily meet our  HOPE Appeal goals which our parishes share of the support for HOPE Appeal-funded ministries, programs, and services. If we exceed our target, 100 percent of the excess will be returned directly to our parish. However, if we do not meet this goal, the shortfall will be taken from our general fund.Your gift, no matter the size, whether it is a pledge or a one-time gift, is important.

If you have already returned your HOPE Appeal pledge card— THANK YOU! If you are still prayerfully considering your HOPE pledge, you may bring your completed pledge card to Mass next weekend or drop  it by the parish office. You may also pledge your gift to our parish’s campaign online at www.syrdio.org.

With your help, we can assure the continued support of many important programs that help thousands in our diocese each year.; education for our children, college and seminary students, evangelization, Catholic Charities services, and more.

“God gave each person faith, gifts and talents so that they  would share them with others and bring the taste of the Gospel to the world. Christians must ‘go out with the message, go out with the riches of salt that we have received and give it to others.”

  - Pope Francis
