Together in ActionTogether in Action is the annual fundraising campaign of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Calgary. Parishes across the diocese join Together each year to pool their resources. Many worthwhile charitable projects and programs that give hope and change lives come to our parish doors for support each year. It is difficult for each of us to know who to give to, how much, and if the funds will impact the lives of others in a positive way. Together in Action gives us the opportunity to work together. It helps us to give ourselves and others a vision of hope and healing for our homes, our neighbourhoods, and the world. St Peter's goal for Together in Action 2012 is $58,042.00. We have already achieved 59% of our goal. |
