Project Advance 2012 - Sharing With Joy

The Parish Rebate is a very important aspect of Project Advance. Last year, almost $4 million was returned to parishes once their Archdiocesan goal was met. Most parishes see the rebate as an opportunity to do a capital project not financially possible through their Sunday collection.
