A MESSAGE FROM FR. STEVE

Dear Parishioners, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Season. Thank you to all who sent in your Christmas envelopes – your generosity is greatly appreciated. I would like to ask any who may not have been able to attend in person but participated from home or any who may not as yet have made their Christmas gift to the parish to please remember us sooner than later. We are currently $28,000 under budget from last year’s total. As you know the Christmas collection is our largest support of the year and this shortfall will impact our operations this coming year. We certainly celebrated our hope in Christ: from Advent to Christmas Day to the New Year we celebrated the Sacred Mysteries with song, decorations, added confessions, prayer meetings, assistance to the less fortunate and the list goes on. I know this pleases you and the staff and I are delighted to have been allowed to be of service to you. God Bless, Fr. Steve
