Thank you to those who spoke to our community about the serious need we have to increase the offertory giving. So many have spoken to me about the excellent presentations. I am particularly grateful to Mr. Jeff Ross of our Finance Council who conducted two preparation class for the speakers.I am grateful as well to all who have begun to return the pledge cards for their regular offertory gift to the parish.
It is my hope that each week more and more of the parish will turn to the Faith Direct program for the giving of one's gift to the parish. It is a program that makes giving so much more meaningful and consistent. If you have not considered this program seriously, I would ask you to give it some time. As one of our senior parishioners said to me, "Father, you know, I resisted that credit card program at first. Now I'm in it. Boy, does it make giving so much easier for me. I really feel so much better about my giving because I know it is helping the parish regularly."
