St. Maria Goretti News

Dear Parishioners,

I wanted to thank all of you for the response for the CPC campaign this year. We did meet this goal at both Parishes of St. Bernard and St. Joseph. Well done to both Parishes!

St. Bernard received 72 cards back out of 136 registered families. The goal was $29,170 and $29,570 was pledged. St. Joseph received 198 cards back out of 495 registered families. The goal was $91,507 and $91,507 was pledged. Any funds collected beyond our assessed amount will be returned to the Parish to help with our regular operating expenses.

As part of the Diocese, St. Bernard and St. Joseph are able to provide benefits for our staff; otherwise we would not be able to do so. This year, the Catholic Schools Office provided countless hours of assistance to ensure that we would be able to keep both students and staff safe during the pandemic. The Catholic Schools Office will also guide us and provide a great deal of assistance as we search for a new Principal. Our Parish office is in contact with the Catholic Center on a regular basis. Their assistance allows us to complete our tasks here at the parishes in an efficient manner. Both Parishes are insured and benefit from the collective pooling of the Diocesan properties to receive the best benefit for the cost of our insurance. These are only a few of the many services that we benefit from at the local level due to the structure of the Catholic Church and being a part of a Diocese.

Particularly in this year of a pandemic, some can give and some can’t; however, we all benefit from the services the Diocese provides to us throughout the year. Some parishes can contribute, others are challenged, but we all pull together and help the Church offer its ministry to all who are in need. Thank you for your participation and support. You all make not only St. Bernard and St. Joseph amazing parishes, but your help makes our Diocese amazing as well. God Bless you.

Fr. Gary
