No, we only ask that all gifts for Partners in Charity 2020 kindly be forwarded in the US mailbox (addressed to Partners in Charity: 49 Elm Street Worcester, MA 01609) by no later than Saturday, September 5th to be included in this year’s final figure. Gifts received in the US Mail after the 8th of September will go towards the 2021 Appeal. The deadline for online gifts is Monday, September 7th. The Chancery building remains closed to the public due to Covid-19. On behalf of the many thousands of people who are impacted by the agencies and ministries supported by Partners in Charity, allow me to express my sincere gratitude to all of you who responded to this year’s appeal. Thanks to the generosity of the people of the Diocese of Worcester, and the leadership of our priests and parish chairpeople, we will be able to respond to those in need.
As of this Wednesday, August 26, 2020, 26 parishes have met or exceeded their goal for this year and many more are close to goal. It has been a challenging, yet very positive, campaign; our pastors, parish administrators and lay parish leaders have been very supportive. We are $757,137 from reaching our $5 Million Dollar goal. Thank you for your continued help.
