Stewardship
Our year of pastoral
activity is coming to an end. Our fiscal year ends June 30.
For us as a parish community both of these overlap. This has been a
year filled with joy and excitement. We have begun construction;
we have had anniversaries to celebrate; we have new assistant pastors
to help serve our community; and we have met our budget. I pray
we did not spend more than we collected.
I want to thank you, the parishioner, who so generously supported
us. I realize how difficult our days are financially.
Again, it is the few who support the larger community. This is a
reality that has baffled me for years. But these are the facts of
life. I am ever so grateful to you, our regular Mass-goers and
generous donors. Without you, we would not be able to offer the
many and varied programs we do, day after day. Thank you for
sharing your time, talent and treasure. Each and every one of you
is a treasure! Thank you for all you do. God loves a
cheerful giver.
Stewardship of Treasure

measure will in turn be measured out to you.”
