THE LEAVEN

Evangelization is an essential dimension of our mission as a Church. Our primary archdiocesan evangelization tool is the LEAVEN. The LEAVEN is to be sent to every Catholic household within the Archdiocese including those that do not make a donation. Responsibility for providing the LEAVEN to every household rests with the parish.
