April’s special monthly envelope is for the Clergy Discretionary Fund (CDF) at Bethesda. As the parish has been open and more visible in recent months, we have increasingly seen situations where assistance is needed. The CDF gives the priest-in-charge a pool of funds to pull from when small requests or pastoral matters arise – a cup of coffee or a meal, clothing, transportation, as well as other needs related to the Bethesda’s ministry. The fund remains the property of the parish. All gifts are tax deductible to the donor. Contact the parish office if you would like to learn more about giving to this fund.
