Hope Highlights

Saint Rose of Lima, North Wales, and Our Lady of Hope, Philadelphia, Over Goal!!

Monsignor Daniel Murray, pastor of Saint Rose of Lima, North Wales, received 20 gifts this past week, which helped surpass the parish goal of $1,040,000! The parish has raised $1,050,000. “The parishioners of St. Rose of Lima have a history, you might call it a heritage, of always responding generously to support the faith community to which they belong,” said Monsignor Murray. “They also have the vision of the larger Church of which they are a part. These are the principle reasons for the successes of our campaign,” he added.

Our Lady of Hope, Philadelphia, exceeded its parish goal, from 10 new pledges received this week! The parish secured $230,600 in pledges and gifts, or 102% of its target. Our Lady of Hope intends to use the parish share of the funds to begin restoration to the Tioga worship site and to begin repairs to the roof of the Logan worship site.

Congratulations to Monsignor Murray and Father Efren Esmilla, and their parishioners on surpassing their goals!
