Other Materials

•  Your introductory packet also contained a bank card and return envelope, to use when sending in the collected funds. If you need another of either of these items, or have questions about them, please call 414-758-2281 or e-mail wmo@archmil.org.
•  Your parish will also receive a number of information cards about La Sagrada Familia.  (One of these cards was included in your Pastor/Parish Director Packet, as a sample.) We hope you will put these out in the pews or another gathering area of your parish so that interested parishioners may learn more about their sister parish. If you have not received your information cards by November 30th, please call 414-758-2280 or e-mail wmo@archmil.org.
•  Your Parish Bulletin Editors, Communications Contacts, and Administrative Assistants have also received instructions on downloading and links to Bulletin Stories, Pulpit Announcements, and Image Files to include in your bulletin, newsletters, or other communications. If you would like to review the items that have been prepared for this purpose, please visit the Bulletin Materials page.

Your Feedback

Our office is grateful for all that Pastors and Parish Directors did to prepare for the collection. As we want to make sure the process runs smoothly for parishes in the future, we are asking for your feedback on the collection.

We would greatly appreciate your taking just a few minutes to answer a very brief survey about the collection. Answers are confidential and will only be used to help us respond to your parish’s needs more effectively for next year.
