The 2019 Diocesan Catholic MInistries Appeal (CMA) will begin soon. Our parish goal this year is the same as Last year's goal, $57,018. We fell just short of our goal last year but I am confident that we will achieve it this year. To help us accomplish that I am planning to increase my contribution slightly this year and would ask you, if your means allow, to join me in that effort. Pease take a brief moment to view the diocesan video on this page to familiarize yourself with all the good that is accomplished by our gifts to the CMA. Please also remember that our Parish Number is 341, Our Lady of the Valley Parish. This is important to note on your contribution so that your gift is credited to our parish goal. AlsoPlease remember that any money pledged or given to the Catholic Ministries Appeal can only be used, by law, for the programs, services and ministries for which they are designated. No contributions to the CMA are used to pay legal fees or settlement costs associated with law suits. I hope your will join me in this worthwhile effort to benefit our parish, the poor and our diocese. God bless you! - Father Stan
