Please be aware that scammers are emailing and texting parishioners, claiming to be their pastor and asking for gift cards. If you receive an email or text from someone who claims to be your priest, asking for gift cards or money: Do not respond. Do not click on anything in the email. Call the parish office immediately to report it. Anyone who has given money or gift cards in response to such a request should call the police. Your clergy will never make an urgent request for money or gift cards via email or text. If you wonder whether a parish request for giving is legitimate, call your parish office and ask.
