This is Commitment Weekend!
Please place your “Commitment Envelope” in the regular collection at Mass. If you forgot to bring your pledge envelope to Mass this weekend, please mail it to the parish office this week or bring it with you to Mass next weekend. Additional brochures and pledge envelopes are available at the entrance to the church. You can also view the brochure and other materials, including a history of the our parish and photos of our church from the late-1880’s through the present, on the Faith in Our Future page of our parish website.
We are asking all parishioners to consider a sacrificial pledge of $4,000 or more. With a 10% down payment ($400) your pledge would be $100/a month for three years or $75/month for four years. All pledges and gifts, no matter the amount, are greatly appreciated! Only through sacrifice throughout the community can we achieve our goal of raising $1,250,000. Therefore, all contributions, from the smallest to the largest, will be gratefully appreciated.
If you have not decided on your gift to the campaign, we invite you to prayerfully consider making your pledge this week. Please review the suggested gift plans and continue the success of our campaign by making your gift as soon as possible!
As you make your pledge . . . please remember: Pledges should be made over a period of 3 or 4 years. Pledge payments are in addition to your weekly offertory commitment. Payment reminders and a special payment envelope will be mailed in accordance with the selected payment plan. All contributions are tax deductible.
