2021 - 2022 United Catholic Appeal

October 16, 2021

My brothers and sisters in Chirst, all - 

One of the key ways in which you and I, together as the church in central and southern Indiana, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis with 126 parishes, 68 schools, six Catholic Charities agencies and many ministries, can make a difference is by supporting the annual United Catholic Appeal. November 6-7 is the UCA Intention Weekend. Each head of household should now have received an intention card envelope. If not, I encourage you to pick up the envelope and pen located in your pew and join me in filling out the intention card line by line. Please write neatly. If you have already made a 2021-2022 UCA gift, please check the box in the top corner of your intention card. Please place the card in the envelope and put it in today’s offertory collection.

The United Catholic Appeal supports three areas:

1. Faith Formation and Catholic Education
2. Seminarian Education and Clergy Care
3. Charity and Outreach

To learn more about UCA and to see for yourself how together we can make a difference, see this weekend’s bulletin or visit our homepage to view short videos highlighting UCA’s work. In the search box, enter “UCA.”

You do not know where to begin or how much to give? Personally, I support UCA by making a monthly gift using the safe and secure online giving portal using my age for my monthly gift amount, increasing my monthly gift by $1 each year. ($46 a month in the name of St. Boniface Parish and $46 a month in the name of St. Meinrad Parish.) If you have never made a gift to UCA, what about matching what you spent dining out in October or your vehicle fuel cost for a week.

Please remember that 100% - yes, 100% - of your gift supports these and other programs and ministries sponsored by the archdiocese.

2021-2022 GOAL for St. Boniface Parish   $8,000

2021-2022 GOAL for St. Meinrad Parish   $11,000

+ Be Healthy, + Be Smart, + Be Holy!

God bless you and your loved ones today and in the days to come.
