Your Decision Will Make A Difference
We are encouraged by the results to date. However, we have a long way to go before reaching our objective of receiving a decision from every household. There is still time to offer your financial commitments before we begin our follow up efforts to contact those who have not responded. Commitment packets can be found in the back of church, Gathering Space and the parish office. Please take a few moments to complete the two commitment cards, seal them in the confidential envelope, return them by mail, deliver them to the parish office, or place them in the collection basket. We look forward to sharing the financial results with you next weekend, November 11th. May God Bless you as we work to keep our collective efforts and momentum moving forward! Fr. Michael Pastor, Darlene Felling Trustee, Jim Sand Trustee
