DPAA update
We are beginning to get the results of this year’s DPAA, and the initial news is very good. The diocesan goal for Mother of God was $58,600. So far, we have met that goal and are somewhat above it. That is great news. But as good as it is, in the past few years, we have received almost $100,000 above the parish goal. I am asking you to help me push our donations to the DPAA much higher.
All of the money received above the parish goal remains at Mother of God. All other parish income is taxed by the diocese. Money from the DPAA is not taxed. If you wish to make a donation to Mother of God Church that remains completely at Mother of God, then give to the DPAA.
We do not put the DPAA income on the parish budget. Luckily, we have not had to do so in order to meet our budget needs. But it has allowed us to do other work around the parish, to donate to special needs such as flood and earthquake relief, and other local charities.
Thank you to all who have already participated in this year’s DPAA. And thank you to all who will be donating. Your generosity makes a great deal of difference to a lot of people.
