Educational Tax Credit
Update on Tax Credit Program:
Thank you to our parishioners who signed
up last weekend to participate in PA's EITC tax credit program for the benefit of our parish!
Our parish will receive 40% of the participating parishioner's tax credits
towards our annual Diocesan Catholic Schools Assessment.

Our assessment this year is $78,612 ($6,551 per month!)
so you can see how important this tax credit program is for the financial health of our parish.
Remember, this does not cost you anything.
These are taxes that you have already paid.
There is still time for you to participate this
year so we urge you to call the rectory for
more information and help our Parish.
