Jan 4:30pm CEWA Annual Commencement Mass

for the Archbishop’s 2022 Christmas Appeal for LifeLink

More than 60% of the funding which the Archdiocese provides for welfare services each year is provided through the gifts made to this appeal. It is indeed fitting therefore that we jointly celebrate Pope Francis, “World Day of the Poor” on our appeal launch weekend.

Archbishop Costelloe SDB said, “With thanks to the generous support of parish priests and parishioners, last year my Christmas Appeal raised $688,869.26 – a record amount. Given the many financial and other challenges people faced during the year, this was a magnificent outcome.

I hope that despite the ongoing financial pressures Catholic families are facing, that this year they will once again join together to help our brothers and sisters in need who reach out to us for help.”
