Dear Church Family,

I hope this letter finds all of you doing well during this difficult time.  Please continue to stay in as much as possible and be safe. 

As chairperson of the “Taste of Creole” I am writing this letter to inform you that we will not be able to have the “Taste of Creole” on October 16, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Our church depends on this event in order to keep afloat with our finances.  The committee is asking each church family (household) to pledge $100.00 in order  to meet our goal of $10,000.00.  Some families will be able to pledge more, and that will certainly be appreciated.  Most of you spend over $100.00 when we have this event ($90 for tickets, at least $50 or more for the good food you prepare and $40 for the raffle tickets).                                    

We are asking you not to decrease your regular weekly donation to the church because that will defeat our purpose of staying afloat with our finances. You may send your pledge amount in one check, or over  a period of five months (August – December).  However, we need to have your full pledged amount by December 6, 2020. 

Please make your check or money order payable to Saint Juliana Church and put “Taste of Creole Donation” on the bottom of the check or money order. This is to insure that you will be given credit for your pledged amount.  You can mail your check or money order  to:

                                         St. Juliana Catholic Church 
                                                   900 Daspit St.
                                              Alexandria, LA  71302 

You may also put it in the church collection basket.

Remember that we cannot do this without your help. Our Church Family has always stepped up to the plate to do its part, and I know we will do it again. God is “Great” and will get us through all of this.  Continue  to pray for one another and the success of this pledge donation.  Thank you so much.

                                                                                                                                   Sincerely,

 Lynn Lemott, Chairperson Taste of Creole
