Supporting Stewardship in Our Parish

As we reflect on 2020, our first thoughts may be of the challenges, sacrifices, and heartache that we have experienced. On so many levels, the past year has been a test of our faith and trust in God. Despite the trials we have faced, we must still give our gratitude, glory, and praise to God for all that he has given us.

At times, we may struggle to recognize the gifts God has placed in each one of our buckets. As a faith family and your Pastor, I can say that our bucket continues to overflow with your gifts of prayer, service, and financial support.

Just as you so generously continue to share during these challenging times, so do we as a faith family. Even though our Sunday offerings are not meeting our current budget, we continue to tithe 10 percent to ministries in our community, diocese, and around the country. We also remain committed to and continue to support Catholic education.

During the first six months of our fiscal year — July 2020 to December 2020 — 14 percent of Sunday offerings provided tithing funds of $76,400 and $30,000 for Catholic education.

Thank you for continuing to strive to fulfill our mission as a stewardship parish and using the gifts that God has so freely given us to bless and serve others.

God bless,

Fr. Fabio Refosco, C.O.
