Dear Fellow Parishioners

Dear Fellow Parishioners

My name is Madeline McCallum, and I am a parishioner here at St. Francis De Sales, as well as a Grade 12 student at Notre Dame Collegiate. There, I have been actively involved in music ministry, leading share the word, and school based activities. I have exciting news about where God is calling me to serve for the upcoming year!

Along with 140 other young men and women, I will spend this upcoming school year serving as a Catholic missionary for NET Ministries. For over 40 years, NET Ministries has shared the Gospel with over 2.2 million young people, allowing them to encounter the person of Christ through evangelization and discipleship.

As a NET Missionary, I am responsible for forming a team of ministry partners who will support the work of NET Ministries with monthly or one-time gifts totaling to a minimum of $9,500-11,000. This support helps offset expenses for my training, healthcare, transportation, equipment, and a small monthly stipend. With the blessing of Fr. Marius, I am asking you to partner with me this year to help me reach this minimum funding goal. You can send gifts to NET Ministries at 110 Crusader Ave W, West Saint Paul, MN 55118-4427. Make checks payable to NET Ministries and indicate that the donation is for Madeline McCallum. Y o u ca n a lso do n a te o n lin e a t www.netusa.orgsupportamissionary an d select Madeline McCallum in th e team member box. Be sure to select the 2024-2025 NET year at the top of the NET page.

I am very grateful for the support I’ve received from the parishioners of this parish. Please keep me in your prayers and know that you remain in mine.

Sincerely,
Madeline McCallum
