Will the council vote to use monies allocated, but not spent on, the Right to Life Dinner for the Bishop's Annual Appeal as requested by Bishop McDermott?
The budget has an allocation of $1000 for the Chittenden County RTL Dinner for food. In addition the St Stephen's Council sent us a check for $100 to support the same event. We actual spent about $700 leaving a balance up to $400. Bishop McDermott has asked us to give more this year for the Bishop's Fund than the $200 we gave last year. There is no allocation for the Bishop's Fund in the Budget. The Officers passed a motion to Warn the $400 to the council.

Prayer for Canonization of Blessed Michael McGivney
God, our Father, protector of the poor and defender of the widow and orphan, you called your priest, Blessed Michael McGivney, to be an apostle of Christian family life and to lead the young to the generous service of their neighbor. Through the example of his life and virtue, may we follow your Son, Jesus Christ, more closely, fulfilling his commandment of charity and building up his Body which is the Church. Let the inspiration of your servant prompt us to greater confidence in your love so that we may continue his work of caring for the needy and the outcast. We humbly ask that you glorify Blessed Michael McGivney on earth according to the design of your holy will. Through his intercession, grant the favor I now present (our sick or in distress). Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
