THE BISHOP'S APPEAL IN CLEVELAND
The Catholic Charities annual appeal, which began Sunday with a special Mass by Bishop Anthony Pilla, will last through December.
February through December?
In the past the appeal has taken place during a couple weeks in the spring--April or May. This seems to be a change in procedure.
The article gives the statistics of target and collected amounts for 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005. It's basically a flat line. Perhaps this explains why the campaign will be 11 months long this year?
