Please Help Sustain Our St. Julia Parish
To continue to be your place of worship, St. Julia relies on donations from parishioners to our Grand Annual Appeal…

A Letter from Father Mark:
Dear Friend and Parishioner,
Our Parish’s mission and ministries rely upon the generous support of many. I ask your help by contributing to our 2024 – 25 Saint Julia Parish Grand Annual Appeal. This Appeal is essential to the financial stability of our Parish. We rely upon weekly collections (in pew and online) and the Annual Appeal to meet our Parish’s regular financial obligations. Our ordinary expenses continue to increase with rising energy costs, maintenance of our buildings, property insurance, clergy and employee salaries and benefits, ministerial outreach, educational programs and charitable works.
Presently, our Parish expenses exceed our contributions resulting in a reliance on savings for needed capital endeavors. The ongoing care of our Churches and facilities, that earlier generations have entrusted to us, bears witness to our faith and commitment to future generations. This work must go on to preserve and protect our heritage. Please help to put St. Julia Parish in a better position to meet both our regular financial obligations and deferred maintenance issues.
Our Grand Annual goal is $265,000. A suggested Grand Annual contribution of $1200.00 will truly help our parish meet our financial obligations. I am very grateful to parishioners who are able to give an even more substantial gift to support our Parish. I am mindful that some cannot afford to be so generous or even give at all this year. I simply ask you to prayerfully reflect on God’s blessings as you consider your financial resources and decide what you can contribute to our 2024 – 25 Parish Grand Annual.
Thank you for your kind assistance in the spiritual and financial support of our Parish! With sincere gratitude and blessings,
Father Mark Mahoney, Pastor
