We appreciate the true generosity of our parishioners demonstrated last year, at a time when financial insecurity is greater than it has been in more than a generation. Our 2009 Parish Campaign went a long way toward fulfilling the needs of the ShareLife agencies and the more than 225,000 people who call on them for help each year.
In total, the ShareLife Parish Campaign of St. Justin raised $158,861 last year. Your generous gifts made a positive difference in the lives of some of the most vulnerable people, in our communities and around the world. Rest assured that together – ShareLife donors and agencies – are working wonders everyday as a result of this outpouring of Catholic charity.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the campaign.
Total for 2009: $158,861
Goal for 2010: $165,000
Total to Date 2010: $124,297
The ShareLife appeal for 2010 finishes at the end of July
Once again we have been offered a wonderful opportunity to make a bigger difference in the community than ever before through our parish ShareLife compaign. A generous donor has pledged to match all new and increased gifts to the 2010 ShareLife compaign throughout the Archdiocese of Toronto, up to a total of $500,000. It's called the ShareLife Community Challenge. If you are a new ShareLife donor, your gift will be doubled. If you have given in the past but didn't contribute in 2009, your gift will be doubled this year. If you're a regular ShareLife donor and you increase your gift from the amount contributed last year, the increase of your gift will be matched as well. Please help us maximize the positive impact our parish can have on those in need in our community this year by making a new or increased gift to our parish ShareLife compaign.
