Ascension of the Lord<br />
2013 <strong>Catholic</strong> Ministries<br />
Annual Appeal Pledge Report<br />
We are at 97% of our goal.<br />
We have 544 donors who have pledged<br />
$112,911 toward our goal of $116,529.<br />
“The Lord Sustains His People”<br />
The <strong>Catholic</strong> Ministries Annual Appeal provides<br />
crucial funding to the Diocese of Joliet. These funds<br />
help provide education, ministry and services that<br />
sustain the people of God. From <strong>Catholic</strong> Charities to<br />
<strong>Catholic</strong> Schools, to Religious Education, seminarian<br />
education and vocations, money donated to the CMAA<br />
helps support the work of our diocese.<br />
Bishop Conlon has sent a letter and a campaign<br />
brochure to past CMAA contributors asking that they<br />
consider making a gift to the 2013 <strong>Catholic</strong> Ministries<br />
Annual Appeal. We ask our parishioners who receive<br />
this mailing to read it carefully and to prayerfully<br />
consider a generous gift and/or pledge.<br />
Please keep in mind that our parish receives a<br />
50% rebate of all funds received over our parish goal.<br />
We can then use this money to support our parish<br />
priorities.<br />
Thank you to all who have contributed<br />
to the 2013 CMAA and to all who are<br />
still paying their pledges.<br />

<strong>St</strong>ewardship Prayer<br />
Lord God, You alone are the source of every good<br />
gift, of the vast array of our universe, and the mystery<br />
of each human life. We praise you and thank You for<br />
Your great power and Your tender, faithful love.<br />
Everything we are and everything we have<br />
is Your gift, and after having created us You have<br />
given us into the keeping of Your Son, Jesus Christ.<br />
Fill our minds with His truth and our hearts<br />
with His love, that in His Spirit we may be bonded<br />
together into a community of faith, a parish family,<br />
a caring people.<br />
In the Name and Spirit of Jesus, we commit<br />
ourselves to be good stewards of the gifts entrusted<br />
to us, to share our time, our talent, our material gifts<br />
as an outward sign of the Treasure we hold in Jesus.<br />
Amen.
