ARCHDIOCESAN CAPITAL
CAMPAIGN - We met with Cardinal Rigali and Archdiocesan officials at the Seminary recently to receive information on a major
capital campaign that will begin next Fall.
The Archdiocese hopes
to raise $200 million to meet current and future needs of building projects, repairs to the Cathedral and the Seminary. In
addition, some of the money will go towards social services and education.
Our Parish has been assigned
a goal of $400,000. 35% of the monies raised from each Parish will be returned to the Parish ($140,000 if we meet our goal)
for needs addressed in a Parish Case Report. Here at Holy Name I have identified needs to help with education, both elementary
and adult, and the pointing of the two sides of the Church tower and boiler chimney. Obviously, this is a major undertaking,
and it will need the help of every Parishioner if it is to be successful.
STARS IN THE DOME
- Monsignor Parlante had 1,000 stars painted on the dome over the Altar. He offered as a memorial a star in memory of a loved
one, with the donation being $50.00. Currently there are over 500 stars still available. Forms for the Start Dome Memorial
can be had at Ken's Korner or in the Rectory. Every First Friday Mass will be celebrated for the people named in the Star
Memorial.
Newest Members: Francis & Bridget McNulty, Joseph F. Sperry, Sr.
SANCTUARY CANDLES
- Special 7 Day candles are available for those wishing to "light a candle" for an intention. The offering is $10 for the
week, and all names for the week will be published in the Parish Bulletin. Candles are located at the Tabernacle, and the
Shrines of Our Lady of the Rosary, the Sacred Heart and St. Joseph.

TEN WEEK CLUB - Ken will
be back at his corner next weekend to start the Fall Ten Week Club. Tickets will again be $20 for the entire 10 weeks. Prizes
will again be $200, $100 and $50.
SCHOOL FAMILIES - School
families attending St. Laurentius are reminded that their stewardship to Holy Name is $9.00 per week. Those who fail to support
Holy Name Parish will forfeit their Parish Rate for tuition. Families that did not fulfill their weekly Parish obligation
will be credited with what they did give and have the remaining balance added to their tuition bill for next year. Our fiscal
year closed June 30th. Parish contributions given from July 1st are credited to your Parish obligation for next year, i.e.,
$468 per family.
CHILDEN'S CHURCH ENVELOPES - I have distributed
children's envelopes to our children attending St. Laurentius School with the hope that they will see the importance of supporting
Holy Name Parish, and see the value of becoming steward of "time & talent". If any other parents would like to have a
set of Church Envelopes for their children, please contact the Rectory.
