What is happening with the 2012 Bishops Annual Appeal?

The Bishops Annual Appeal (BAA) is an essential part of the Diocese of Raleigh's mission to provide for the needs of the faithful and all of God's people. Therefore the BAA for 2012 will be incorporated into the diocese’s Our Cathedral: One Faith, One People campaign. St. Andrew is part of phase 2 of the Our Cathedral: One Faith, One People campaign that will kick off in late summer 2012. To watch a video explaining the 2012 BAA & diocesan Campaign, go to the Diocese's Catholic Perspective webpage and download Week of Jan. 23, 2012 from the list.

GRACE Events

A list of GRACE events for the 2011-2012 Faith Development is now available. Due to facility renovations, most of our available space for group events will be under construction. Therefore only two GRACE events will be required for the 2011-2012 program year.

Pop Tab Collection Program

This year the High School Youth Ministry will support the Ronald McDonald House of Durham by collecting the little tabs you pull to open soda, soup or other aluminum cans. The funds generated from recycling these aluminum gems help offset the House's expenses. Tabs can be dropped off at St. Andrew Care Center.

Construction Update

  • For Your Safety! The Fellowship Hall, kitchen and other sections of the main building are currently closed due to construction. Please observe all signs and do not enter the buildings for your safety.
  • During construction for the parish renovation, we cannot accept donations of food and household items because we do not have a place to store them.
  • Due to construction, the parish library is closed and the Sunday Mass nursery will not be available until construction is complete.

Recent Events

Your Generosity to Haiti

Haitian school rebuiltThanks in large part to the generosity of St. Andrew parishioners, the Macambre School in Haiti has been rebuilt and the children are once again able to attend school in classrooms. St. Andrew contributed about 20% of the total for the school. Other St. Andrew funds were used to help cover costs of running the farm where the goats are raised. Thank you for your support of Obinson Joseph and his work for the children of Haiti.

St. Andrew’s Adopt-a-Highway

A big Thank You to Terry Korab, Deanna Nelson, Ed Outten, Chris Outten, Mike Spurr, Veronica Becerra, Tania Rodriguez, James Jordan, Dawne Galdi, Caroline Galdi, and Bill Carey for participating in another successful Adopt-a-Highway cleanup outing on Dec 3.

Parish Pilgrims in Italy

Wondering what happened on the pilgrimage. Please check the blog!

CPO Thank You

On behalf of the people we serve at Catholic Parish Outreach, we want to thank you and your parish for the generous donations during the St. Andrew “Feed A Family” food drive. The response from your parish was over- whelming, with a donation of 3,500 pounds of groceries and $3,382 for families in need! In July we gave a week’s worth of groceries to almost 9,000 people! Our outreach ministry to the needy would not be possible without the assistance of the members of our community and parishes. We are blessed by your devotion to helping the poor in our midst. May God bless you.
Sincerely,
Terry Foley
Director, Catholic Parish Outreach
