Scam Alert / Reminder
The Catholic Diocese of Memphis is reporting this scam alert!
The Diocese is reporting that unfortunately, yet another effort is being mounted by criminals using Email and text messages to fraudulently ask parishioners (in the name of their clergy) to provide gift cards and money. Please understand that at no time would the Bishop, a Priest, Deacon, Seminarian, or church staff ask a parishioner via text to go buy them a gift card, money, or any other type of funds for any reason!! The Bishop, as well our Priests, Deacons, Seminarians, and Church staff members are aware that this fraudulent effort is active again. Please, if you receive an Email or text asking for any of these things, report it to our Parish office (901-476-8140) and then delete the Email or text message. If you have any questions about this ongoing criminal effort, please contact our Parish office at 901-476-8140 or call the Diocese at 901-573-4002.
