$20,327
The Catholic Sharing Appeal (CSA) supports the work of the
Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston. As Christians each of us has a
responsibility to share our blessings with others.
After we meet half of Sacred Heart’s goal of $22,000, the
money starts coming back to the parish to assist us in our many
needs, specifically our new lighting project for the church.
Anything above the goal, also comes back to us. So far, we have
sent in 92% of our goal. Which is $20,327. This comes from only
41 parishioners/families sending in their gifts. Please remember
to send in your gift., no matter what the amount. All gifts, large
or small, joined together, can do marvelous and great things!
