me.” Mt 6:40 b
Times are difficult for so many. The finance council and the parish
staff have discussed how best the parish can respond to the increased need that we are experiencing through phone inquiries,
walk-ins and the increased requests from various charitable agencies. Since September 2009, the parish has been giving 5% of the
weekly collection to a charity.

One way we can make love for our neighbors “real” is through our
support of Together in Mission. This year’s annual appeal will
provide essential financial support for 35 parishes and 56 schools in
our Archdiocese.
Your generous contribution to Together in Mission will make a big
difference in the lives of tens of thousands of our brothers and sisters. Because of you, the Church will continue to be a force for
human dignity and social justice in our communities.
When you receive your Together in Mission pledge form in the
mail, please fill it out and mail it back or bring it with you to Mass.
At all Masses next weekend, we will also be asking for contributions from those who did not receive pledge forms in the mails.
God bless you for your generous gifts to those in need.
