Friday Report

  

Greetings!  

 

Do you know someone who deserves to be recognized for exceptional service to the parish or local community?

Someone who has dedicated years of time, talent or treasure?


Someone who consistently shows up, takes the lead, is joyful and always willing to go the extra mile?

Or maybe you know someone who shuns the spotlight, working behind the scenes without notice, but without whom things would fall apart?

There are so many good and generous people serving and ministering in our parishes, schools and the local community. Click here to nominate a worthy candidate for the Archdiocesan Stewardship Award.

 


Sincerely,
 
Barbara Dowding
Director, Stewardship Office

Share your speakers

Just inform the Archdiocesan Communications Office, and we can help you set up additional engagements. It can reduce the expense of booking your speaker, draw more press coverage, and give more people the opportunity to hear your speaker when there is more than one venue. Click here to contact us.
