The
Annual Bishop's Appeal is the Diocesan Annual Fund Raiser. Included
in ABA are: Catholic Charities, Continuing Education of Priests
& Seminarians, Priests Retirement, Development & Peace, Advent Mission,
St. Mary's College, the Diocesan Resource Centre and others.
A mail
out is sent once a year at the beginning of Lent, to all parishioners, plus there are some
special collection envelopes in your boxes that go to ABA (noted
on each envelope involved).
Donations to ABA are made to St. Pius
X and the receipt for these donations is part of your parish receipt.
All funds earmarked for ABA are forwarded to ABA by the parish.
Historically St. Pius X parish has been
extremely generous in it's support of the Annual Bishop's Appeal.
