NEW JERSEY
The Record
Last year, the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal collected nearly $10 million. Myers’ palace is estimated to cost $500,000, minus architectural costs, furnishings and landscaping. While the money for the mansion is not coming from the appeal, it is hypocritical for the archdiocese to ask parishioners to give generously when it is spending generously on luxuries for Myers.
The theme for the current appeal is: “When I called, you answered.”
Prospective donors should think twice about giving when Myers’ motto should read: “When I called, you paid for my hot tub.”
