My brothers and sisters in Christ:

Shoulder-to-Shoulder:

Parishioners Helping Parishioners

Shoulder-to-Shoulder is a ministry of St. Michael Parish. It is our intention, through this ministry, to offer a helping hand to our fellow parishioners who are faced with unexpected and severe financial difficulties. Shoulder-to-Shoulder is funded through the generosity of our fellow parishioners via the 2009 Annual Catholic Appeal. Ninety percent (90%) of all Annual Catholic Appeal payments made to the Archdiocese in excess of our 2009 goal have been allocated to Shoulder to Shoulder.

In order to be considered for a grant, we ask that you complete the attached application. Your name will be known only to me and your answers to the questions will be held in strict confidence.

The application (with identifying information blacked out) will be reviewed by members of the Shoulder-to-Shoulder Advisory Committee. The committee will then make a recommendation to me. You will be contacted by me (within two weeks) for a personal interview.

We will hold you in our prayers during this time.

Sincerely, in Christ,

Fr. Jim Lee

Pastor
