Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this year’s Catholic Stewardship Appeal for answering the call of the Holy Spirit. As of our last update we have achieved our goal for contributions but our participation goal of 25.9% has not been met. St. John XXIII parishioners have contributed $100,460. Although our parish CSA goal has been met, the archdiocese is still $2,517,063 short of its goal. The many ministries Funded by the Catholic Stewardship Appeal depend on our generosity to continue and to grow the outreach to those in most need.

The fall CSA mailing will be sent out September 4, please watch for the mailing next week. If you prefer, you may donate online at www.catholicappeal.org or text APPEAL2023 to 414-348-8380

If you have not donated to the Catholic Stewardship Appeal so far, please continue to listen for the Holy Spirit’s call in your heart. Please consider contributing, even a small gift will help. Remember increased participation is the true measure of the CSA’s success.

Our Parish response to the fall mailing has always been tremendous and for that we are truly grateful.

Thank you and God bless you all,

Fr. Matthew, Connie Coen, and Chuck Lanser
