To: Parish bulletin editors and parish secretaries
From: Laurie Morse, coordinator, GRACE Scholars
September 30 – October 1 is GRACE Awareness Weekend! Please find here a variety of materials including a TV slide, bulletin text, posters and Mass announcements for your parish bulletin or school newsletter. You do not need to publish both the text and graphic at the same time, rather we are giving you options to advertise the GRACE Scholars Awareness Weekend depending on space in your bulletin or newsletter. The ad should go inside the bulletin, not on the back with the business ads.
Newsletter ads/text, bulletin ads/text and Mass announcements should run during these suggested weekends. Ideally, the last three weekends of September as your spacing and scheduling allows: Sept 2-3, Sept 9-10, Sept 16-17, Sept 23-24, Sept 30-Oct 1.
If your parish or school has a TV monitor for announcements, the graphic is suggested to run from September 2 – October 1. Please be on the lookout for a Vimeo video, which will be available in the near future, to be shown on GRACE Weekend. The video will be playable here or downloadable directly from VIMEO. Instructions to follow.
Thank you for your assistance in helping to spread the word about this amazing tax credit opportunity! With GRACE donations, school-age children of families with financial need can attend our Catholic schools.
