Fr. Bala Jubilee Celebration Fund The Father Bala Jubilee Celebration Fund has been created
to honor and to help Fr. Bala Celebrate his 25th Jubilee, as a gift from St Thomas & St. Joseph’s Parishes. During the month of December 2019, you have the opportunity to make a financial contribution
if you choose to participate. This is purely a volunteer request. Father Bala has expressed gratitude in advance for anything we can do for him. There are gift envelopes available at the back of
both churches. Please make sure any gifts not in the given envelope are clearly marked with Fr. Bala
Jubilee Fund. Thank You for you generosity
