Together as One: Gifts to Together As One (TAO) are part of our stewardship of treasure. Our goal as a Diocese is higher this year so we may continue to impact lives through Diocesan ministry. Join us today in support of TAO with a gift or pledge through the brochure that was mailed to you or giving online at scdiocese.org/together-as-one. Your support enables the works of all Diocesan ministries including Faith Formation, Religious Education, Youth Ministry, Catholic Charities, Parish Accounting and much more! Our Divine Mercy goal this year is $70,000. 100% of the funds raised above and beyond comes back to our parish.
