Archdiocese Appeal - It Does Not Look Good!

As I had reported earlier, donations are down in the Archdiocese of Washington.

As you may (or may not) recall that the 2019 Appeal has a goal of raising $14.3 million.  

To date, the Campaign (as Melvin like to call it) has received pledges of $8.89 million from 23,465 donors.   

What does this mean?

Well, it means that the Archdiocese has reached only a little over 62% of their goal.  It also means that only 38.5% of possible donors have given.

This is a HUUUGE drop from last year.

In 2018, the Appeal raised over $14 million from 39,000 donors.  

I guess they really need to find a couple of fundraisers asap! 

Question:  Do you think that Archbishop Gregory will get the message?
