A box will be in the lobby for your gifts.
Family Perspective. Today's gospel warns about routines and specifically mentions eating and drinking, raising a family, working and preparing meals. STAY AWAKE because routines can numb you to God breaking into your daily life, calling you to higher ground, “when you least except.”.
Envelopes. The envelope system for 2009 is being prepared. Envelope users are the financial
backbone of the parish. And it helps us to budget for the needs of the parish. We want to encourage all parishioners to use the envelope system. For those of you who want tax statements it is our only means of recording financial contributions for tax purposes. If you are not presently using envelopes and would like them please fill out the form below and put it in the collection basket.
