2009 ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL WRAP-UP
|
| |
The Annual Catholic Appeal Drive for 2009 has just been finalized and the results were quite remarkable in light of the economy. The goal was to raise $12.5million to support a raft of promised grants to groups and schools in the St. Louis general area. In total $13.2 million was raised , of which $12.3 came from 61,182 donors in the St. Louis area, another $690,953 came from matched gifts from area companies and $160,346 came from earnings and gifts from the Perpetual Light Society, the recipient of estate gifts. So all of the promised 2009 ACA grants and gifts to ministries and schools will be fulfilled in the months ahead.
Locally St. Anthony Parish did extremely well in the drive raising $23,235, an all time record for our parish, exceeding both its published financial goal and challenge goal. We also brought in 33 pledges from new donors exceeding our goal of gaining 17 new donors. Our participation was 78%, meaning 78 percent of the congregation made a dollar pledge. We fall within the Washington Deanery of 21 local parishes. We were one of only three parishes in the Deanery that met its challenge goal and our participation percentage was second highest in the Deanery, where the average parish participation was 53%. We did very well .
As you may remember the ACA is giving to the St. Anthony parish this year, a grant of $50,000 for operation of our school, a grant of $30,000 to pay down our school note, and another $4,000 to assist the tuition of families attending St. Anthony school.
A huge thank you again to every family in the St. Anthony parish who contributed to the 2009 ACA drive. We could not have been successful without you.
THANK YOU!
Go in Peace to Love and Serve the Lord. |
