Cash Donations
Do not send cash contributions by mail, as this can result in theft and loss of funds. We recommend that the parish office sends a check for the total of cash contributions with a detailed list of donor names, mailing addresses, dates, and gift amounts. This action allows our office to issue proper credit to the donor for their contribution in the form of a tax letter.

Gifts to the Appeal can be made at any time!
