ACA Kick-Off Saturday/Sunday, April 26/27! April 26/27 kicks off the Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA). Please welcome our speaker Sr. Cathy Doherty at all the masses kick-off weekend.
The Annual Catholic Appeal is the lifeblood of so much of the vital work of the Archdiocese of St. Louis. Your support allows us to expand our reach, deepen our impact, and build a brighter future together. Through the Appeal, we lead others to Christ; educate our children; help religious orders; and bring the love and mercy of Christ to the most vulnerable among us. We also provide hope with our affordable housing fund initiative which helps move individuals and families into stable homes. Please prayerfully consider making a gift to this year’s Appeal. Your contribution will help strengthen ministries and programs right here in our community.
Please pickup your pledge envelope in the vestibule of church today to help St. Cronan save on postage costs. Please return your pledge card, even if you can not pledge at this time, as soon as you can. This year St. Cronan’s goal is $30,240.00. Once you make your pledge, be sure to place a cookie sticker on our ACA cookie jar in the back of church.

The Annual SVdP Pancake Breakfast will take place on May. 4 from 8:30am-12:30pm. All are welcome! No cost, but donations will be accepted. Live music will be provided by The Cat's Meow. All proceeds benefit St. Vincent de Paul of St. Cronan.
Black History Tours: STL Black History Tours are planned for these dates for spring of 2025.
* May 17 and June 7
As in the past, the procedure to sign-up is to send tour date, the name, email address, and phone number to me. It is fine with me if you want to hold a block of seats for your group and you can serve as the liaison to your group.
The tour will be the same as previous. The group will meet at St Cronan Catholic Church at 9:30 AM and bus will leave around 10 AM and return to St Cronan at 1 PM. There will be an optional brown bag lunch and discussion following, for those interested.
Please let Paul know if you have any questions. Paul Loida, paul.loida@bayer.com
