FINANCE REPORT

Our donations have been interrupted due to the on-going health crisis.  In addition, individuals have entered the Church and have attempted to "fish" donations from the Poor Boxes, our primary source of donations.  We have been unable to establish if those attempts were successful.  MTK Locksmith has generously donated time/material in an attempt to more adequately secure the boxes.

Parishioners are asked to continue to support SVDP.  If able, please send or drop off any contribution directly to the rectory and designate for SVDP.

Thank you!
