A Word About Scams Impersonating Pastors, Parishes

**Fr. Dan will never call, email or text asking for money or gift cards. Parishioners have reported to us that they have received scam messages claiming to be Fr. Dan. Do not respond to these messages. Do not provide money or personal identifiable information.**

Beware of Scams Targeting The Faithful

Scammers are impersonating pastors and parishes in very sophisticated ways in an effort to cheat people.

Believe it or not, they are:

  • Using fake email addresses and sending scam "phishing" emails to would-be victims.
  • Texting parishioners pretending to be the pastor and in need of gift cards. These requests are NOT from Fr. Dan. Please disregard them completely.
  • Placing phone calls that show up on Caller ID even before the call is answered as familiar legitimate entities.

Never provide money or personal information.

Pray for the healing and conversion of those who seek to profit by scams or fraud. Just imagine how much better our world would be if they used their time for something good!
