The 2020 Bishop’s Annual Appeal funds more than

40 ministries in the areas of charity, evangelization

and worship. The Bishop’s Annual Appeal impacts

each Parishioner and visitor to our Diocese every

week through the area of worship. In addition to the

ongoing formation of the Priests and Deacons cur-

rently serving in our Diocese, the Bishop’s Annual

Appeal funds nearly the entire amount needed to ed-

ucate our future Priests. There are currently 24 Semi-

narians in Priestly formation for the Diocese. The

Bishop’s Annual Appeal also funds six college Cam-

pus Ministry Centers. College campuses have an av-

erage Catholic population of 28%, but receive no

funding from non-Catholic institutions. Without the

Bishop’s Annual Appeal, there would be no oppor-

tunity for our college age youth to practice their reli-

gion or learn about the Catholic faith for the first

time. This support is incredibly important because

participation at these Catholic Campus Ministries is

at an all-time high. Overall, the Bishop’s Annual Ap-

peal will provide over $7 million in the upcoming

year to help those in physical and spiritual need. You

are invited to learn more through the Parish, in to-

day’s bulletin insert or online at Bishop’s Annual Ap-

peal.DioceseOfRaleigh.org. Thank you for your par-

ticipation

Update on Sister Edna English, DW. Long-time pa-

rishioner, Sister Edna English, DW, will be moving soon,

possibly during the first week of March, to

the Daughters of Wisdom retirement center in Sound

Beach, New York. You can visit her before she moves at

the Macgregor Downs Health and Rehabilitation Center,

2910 MacGregor Downs Rd, in Greenville. Sister Edna

says the best time to visit is in the afternoons, after

1:00 PM. If you cannot visit but would like to send Sr.

Edna your regards, we will have her new address available

in the office at a later date.

"The Bilingual Choir will begin rehearsals for Holy

Week on Tuesday evening, March 3 at 7:30 PM. Rehears-

als will continue throughout March on Wednesday eve-

nings at the same time. Anyone interested in singing for

Holy Thursday, Good Friday, or the Easter Vigil should

attend these rehearsals. All ages are welcome."

Sanctuary Lamp: The Sanctuary Lamp burns this week,

in honor of the Gondrez Family. If you would like to

sponsor the lamp for a week in memory of a loved one,

please call the office to schedule.
