The document discusses Saint Bonaventure Parish's 2012 Pastoral Services Appeal (PSA). It notes that the PSA asks parishioners to donate to diocesan projects, with anything collected above the parish's $155,000 goal being returned to Saint Bonaventure. The parish plans to use extra PSA funds to renovate its nearly 50-year-old church facilities, including replacing the sagging floor, upgrading heating/AC, and reconfiguring the church site to improve community and worship.
