Some parishioners have received "phishing" emails, phone calls, and texts from scammers purporting to be Fr. Woody, asking for help. Father Woody does not need gift cards and is not asking parishioners for help. It is a scam!
Just a reminder that the parish, parish priests and deacon, and parish staff/volunteers will NEVER ask you to give them a donation directly. They will also never email you from an account that does not end in @holydisciples.org, or say things like "I'm in a meeting...can you help me out?"
If you receive a request (usually via text or email that does not come from @holydisciples.org) for a gift or a favor that appears to come from the parish, parish priests or deacon, or parish staff/volunteers that isn’t for one of the above, you should ignore this request and report the email address to your email provider, like Gmail or Yahoo.
