We begin this weekend the 2021 Bishop’s Annual Appeal. Because of Covid restrictions, we will not have the pledge envelopes in the pews but will be handing them out as you enter and leave the church. Please take the envelope home, make your pledge or gift, and return it to the basket at the entry, or the parish office. You may mail it directly to the BAA, but don’t forget to put St. Edward Church - Granville below your name and address. Please recall that we are hoping for a household gift of $500, payable over 10 months. Thank you for your kind consideration of this appeal.
We received the following Easter greeting from Fr. Jude in Uganda and the card pictured below:
“Easter greetings from Uganda. I pray this finds you well. Christ rose that we may live. May the risen Lord heal the world of this pandemic. Happy Easter to you all at St. Edward’s."
God Bless,
Msgr Enke

“Living the Joy of the Gospel,” the theme of the Bishop’s Annual Appeal, inspires us, as people of faith, to share joyfully the Good News of Christ to those who most need to feel His love. Works of kindness and assistance, sometimes in the smallest way, can bring about a profound change in a person’s life.
This weekend is Commitment Weekend for the Appeal, at which time you can make your gift or pledge. See Pastor notes for details. Our parish has been asked to raise $100,849.63. We can accomplish this if, after prayerful consideration, everyone gives what they can. Any amount raised over our goal will be returned to our parish to be used for our particular needs.
