Dear Friends,
We have reached a pivotal point in dealing with
our parish finances. Our Sunday Offertory collection continues to be in deficit and calls for direct action. Our parish offertory is $50,000.00+ in deficit. We are in need of a miracle!
Here are some of the facts:
-In 2023, the parish did not receive a recognized donation from 61% of our registered families.
-We have lost the weekly donation of more than 125 households due to Death, people moving to Nursing Facilities, or joining their Families!
-50% of our Sunday attendees have not returned to Church during and after the pandemic.
-The parish bills are very similar to your bills, they have increased.
What will the miracle be:
- Welcoming the many new faces we see at our masses. If you are a new parishioner, please call the parish office and register!
- Intentional giving, meaning increasing your Weekly Offering
- Responding to our Easter Mailing and making a sacrificial gift on Easter.
- If you are going to be away for Easter, please remember to send us your Easter gift.
- If you are new, you may use the visitor Envelopes in the pew, make a donation and note you want to be contacted by the parish staff.
On Easter Sunday we will sing Alleluia the Lord is Risen! And our parish will be working to gain “financial stability.”
Peace,
Msgr. Ryan
