REORGANIZATION FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 18. Will my gift to the Catholic Ministries Appeal (CMA) be used to pay legal settlements? No. As in previous years, gifts are made to the CMA to support specific ministries and programs and we intend to use the funds for those purposes which respects the intention of the donors. A listing can be found at:... https://www.dor.org/giving/catholic-ministries-appeal/ 19. Will the CMA operate in the same way during reorganization? Yes. For many years, the CMA has operated under a system in which goals are set for individual parishes using a formula based on parish demographics (number of households, Mass attendance, parish collections, and median income of parishioners) developed by the Center for Government Research. This system has proven to be a fair, equitable and objective way of engaging parishes to contribute to the operation of the diocesan church, and to collectively share the cost of services provided by the Diocese to the parishes. Under this system, parishes are required to pay the difference between the amount contributed to the CMA or raised through fundraising efforts and the parish goal. The system will remain in place. The CMA goal and parish goals are not being increased this year. 20. Has the Diocese laid any employees off as a result of restructuring and reorganization? It is not our desire to lay people off; however, financial realities, exacerbated by the Coronavirus pandemic, have required significant personnel changes while still trying to maintain the same level of service to our parishes and entities.

THANKSGIVING BASKETS As in the past, we will again be needing many hands to make light work for our Thanksgiving Basket Project. We will distribute the baskets Monday, November 23 from 10 AM to 2 PM in the Parish Center. We are in the process of food collection now. I am anticipating that this will be a very busy year due to food shortages and many people out of work and having a real need for food this year. We are the only Church doing Thank...sgiving others in Geneva are doing Christmas and sign-ups for that have already begun. Everyone is anticipating a large need. These are the dates we will need help for Thanksgiving Baskets in the Parish Center: Friday-November 20, 10 AM at the Parish Center to sort the food and bag potatoes, onions and apples. Sunday-November 22, 12 Noon packing the baskets. Monday-November 23 10 AM help with turkey and basket distribution. All volunteers are required to wear masks and social distance. The agencies will pick up the baskets for their clients so that will limit the number of people in the area. The community sign-ups will enter the front door of the Parish Center and go through the hallway to the back door where their basket will be given to them. We are trying to eliminate people standing in line/gathering. If you can help with any part of this project, please call me at Social Ministry-315-789-7811 to sign up. Thank you!
