We want to thank Jim Wilson, our Administrator and Treasurer Connie Arcadipane and Amma Kim for their work in setting up new systems, mailing lists, recording systems and our copy work and mailings.
Finally and most special, we thank you, the faithful members of St. Peter’s Parish for your magnificent support of St. Peter’s with your time and treasure. 2007 has been a wild year. Just ask business, housing, health officials, wage earners, investors and mortgage loan originators.
Your generosity has made up for a loss of pledging units and you are wonderful! It is through your love and support of this Parish that the work we have been called to do in this place for our Lord and Savoir Jesus Christ, is being done!
John K. Akers, 2008 Chair Stewardship Campaign
