A Message from our Pastor- March 23, 2020 My Dear Friends, These are most difficult times, and while this is indeed a health crisis that affects all of us, it is also a financial crisis for many. Many of our people find they are suddenly unemployed and are experiencing financial distress, to the extent that we are able to help where we can to those in need. As Pastor I have the responsibility to make you aware that our parish may soon experience financial distress. As you are aware, we are dependent on your generosity in our weekly offertory to meet our financial obligations. Without that income it will become harder to pay our utility and other expenses to maintain bills, pay our staffs, teachers who are so needed to keep our parish and school operating; and keeping our Parish financially secure. Therefore, we ask you to continue your generous support by mailing your weekly offering or setting up electronic giving with our parish secretary or business manager by phone. Thank you for all your prayers and financial support of our Parish and May God bless you! Your brother in Christ, |
