Dear
Parishioners of
St.
Elizabeth,
|
|
|

Invitation
to Archdiocesan Annual
Appeal (AAA):
Once again, we are
invited to support the
Archdiocesan Annual
Appeal, which sustains
the mission and
ministries of the
Archdiocese of San
Francisco. This appeal
is especially meaningful
to me, as it is my final
invitation to you as
your pastor.
The AAA assessment
for our parish in 2026
is $34,588.
Top Three Reasons
to Support the
Archdiocesan Annual
Appeal: First,
St. Elizabeth Parish has
belonged to the
Archdiocese since 1912,
including 1962, when our
church was built.
Second, through Word and
Sacrament, ministries,
and services, the
Archdiocese nourishes
our parish life. Third,
rooted in a 2,000-year
tradition, it unites us
with the Church in
California and the
Universal Church.
Past Successful
AAA Campaigns at Our
Parish: I remain
deeply grateful for your
extraordinary generosity
over the years. In 2021
and 2022, despite
pandemic challenges, our
parish completed the AAA
campaign within two and
a half months. In 2023,
2024, and 2025, we
reached our goal in just
two months. These
accomplishments reflect
your faith, generosity,
and commitment to the
Church's mission. I
thank you for your
collaboration,
encouragement, and
friendship to me as your
pastor.
Starting Date of
the AAA 2026
Campaign: We are
officially launching the
AAA drive with this
letter and with
announcements at weekend
Masses on February 28 -
March 1, 2026.
Ways to
Donate: You may
donate using the
enclosed envelope for
prompt processing and
acknowledgment or
contribute securely
online at
stelizabethsf.org
or sfarchdiocese.org/aaa.
1.5%
Circle: Could
you prayerfully consider
donating 1.5% of our
parish AAA goal of
$34,588, which is $500?
Many parishioners have
given even more
generously in past
years, and I hope such
generosity continues. I
have already submitted
my own $500 gift. If 69
parishioners give at
this level, our goal
will be reached quickly.
1.5% Circle members, as
in previous years, will
be invited to a
luncheon.
My
Retirement: As I
prepare to conclude my
ministry among you
effective July 1, 2026,
please know how deeply
thankful I am-for your
generosity, your faith,
and your unwavering
support. Serving you has
been an honor and a
blessing.
God bless you and
your families for your
joyful and generous
support of the mission
of the
Church.
