New Offertory Envelopes
Dear fellow Parishioners,
For 2015, we will begin mailing the regular Offertory envelopes on a bi-monthly basis. In the future, every two
months you will receive in the mail the next two months of
Offertory envelopes. This new system will save the parish
money and be more effective and accurate. As always, we
rely on your generous donation of “treasure” in order to
carry out our mission to serve one another in worship, in
faith formation and in outreach to the needy. These envelopes can be considered wrapping paper for your gift to
God! Regular use of these envelopes will enable us to verify your contributions.
Thank you for your generous support!

Faith Direct Update
Catholic Campaign for Human Development:
Next week we will take up the collection for the
Catholic Campaign for Human Development which
includes Home Missions (CCHD). CCHD was
founded 48 years ago by the bishops of the United
States when they realized that the lives of those in
need would not improve until the systems and policies that keep people in poverty were changed. For
40 years, CCHD has funded community groups that
seek justice and create lasting change. Fight poverty
in America. Defend human dignity. Give to the
CCHD collection.
Special Thanks to 76 families who make their regular offertory
contributions and 79 families who make their capital campaign
payments thru FAITH DIRECT. Faith Direct enables you to
give electronically by using your credit or debit card.
