50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE
ANNUAL APPEAL—A TIME FOR REFLECTION
Last year’s Appeal achieved 99% of its goal
with $14,165,000 donated to the many ministries
of the Church of Washington!
The theme of the 2019 Appeal is Our Faith.
Our Hope. Our Mission.
Different from a one-time special collection, the
Appeal is a pledge campaign where you can make
a gift, today, payable over ten months that will
help support the ministries and mission of all our
faith communities of the Church of Washington.
A gift to the Annual Appeal will touch the
lives of thousands of people in a very positive
way. Reflect on God’s gifts to you. Our
combined gifts not only signify our gratitude
to God, they glorify Him by enabling the
work of our archdiocese and give Him thanks
for all He has given us.
As in every year, 100% of your contribution to
the Annual Appeal will be designated to the
ministries and programs supported by the Appeal.�

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam
For the greater glory of God...
Dear Parish Family,
I’d like to share a little bit of background for the
Nunsense Production that will be taking place
here in our very own Parish Hall during the
weekend of March 16-17. It begins with my
good friend, John Baldino. I first came to know
John when we entered Mount St. Mary’s
Seminary in 2010. Years before, John was part of
a cabaret group that regularly performed Nunsense
in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
After a year at the seminary, John discerned
that God was not calling him to the priesthood.
We stayed in touch and a few months after I was
ordained a priest, I had the privilege of presiding
over John’s wedding to his lovely wife, Rachel, in
2015.
Now fast forward to 2017… when I first
learned that I was going to be assigned to St.
Francis Xavier, I asked John if his cabaret group
would be willing to travel to southern Maryland
to perform their show at our parish. Thankfully,
John enthusiastically endorsed the idea and it will
happen on our own parish grounds in just four
short weeks!
While the show is meant to be a fundraiser for
our parish, I also see it as a way to bring our
parish and the wider community closer together.
My hope is that someone who might not come to
our parish for Mass or other events, after
enjoying a relaxing evening of interactive
comedy, might reconsider joining us in the future.
Donations for raffle baskets are welcomed and
needed! Call AnnMarie Abell, 301-904-7279, or
email [email protected].
Peace and blessings,
Father Rob
