“As we renew our commitment to pray, share our faith – especially with our young people! – and serve together, I thank you again for your spiritual and financial support of our parish!” -Father Tom
The Offertory, or Collection, at Mass is an integral part of the Sunday liturgy, not just because it is the primary means by which the parish receives financial support from the parishioners, but because it is also an expression of our gratitude to God for the blessings He has given us to return a portion of them back to Him for use by His Church. This includes the weekly offering, poor box donations, and our monthly building and maintenance collection.
Our campaign seeks to raise the funds needed to enable us to continue to grow as an active, vibrant parish family. The campaign also provides an opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to a common goal – to live the Gospel and faithfully serve our Lord.
