GivingTuesday: Where Your Donations Went in 2023

What we would like to share is where some of your donations have gone in this past year of 2023! Churches do not receive funding from the government and so everything we do is based on donations, including salary of staff. We appreciate your support and pray that God blesses you for sharing what you have so that we may continue growing His vineyard!

We are also, now, in the process of creating programming and event plans and a budget for 2024 and we cannot do this without your help! Please consider donating to kickstart our 2024 planning!

We also invite your feedback as to what kinds of activities and programs you would like to see in our parish (both or either at the Cathedral or Chapel).
