anonymous. We have now have completed and exceeded our campaign goal of $1Million. We do request, however, that those who pledged for the campaign to honor their commitment to the Parish. Majority of the donations were cash donation and a few were pledges. We are counting those pledges as part of the total amount of the campaign goal that we have achieved. Again, I am so grateful to all our donors, friends and parishioners of Assumption Parish for all your support, generosity, and kindness to our Parish. Thank you for sharing with us your time, talent, and financial support to address the various needs of our parish and our mission Church. May the Lord repay you a hundredfold for all the good things you are doing and have done for the good of our Parish.
