We are participating in this fundraiser with several other Catholic parishes and institutions. We are asking for a donation of $25 for each raffle ticket, and are asking you to please consider purchasing the raffle tickets for yourself, or selling them to family members, neighbors, or friends. The purchaser keeps the right half of the ticket.
I once again ask you, if you have not already done so, to please make your Catholic Charities and Saint Charles Seminary Appeal donations for 2021. It would be a wonderful thing if we had 100% participation in these important annual appeals from every wage earner and/or household in the parish.
This means that our Sunday Masses will basically be celebrated the way we celebrated before COVID, with a few exceptions, e.g., we still will not be offering each other the Sign of Peace and we will not be receiving Holy Communion from the chalice (except, of course, for the priest celebrant).
