Dear Parishioners,
Thank you for taking the time to read our parish annual report. It really is incredible to look back on the last year and see how our parish has come back to life after the COVID-19 pandemic. Our Mass attendance is rebounding and our outreach is revived!
If you, too, are in need of a revival, consider this a personal invitation to reunite with the very source of our strength and the summit of our faith. When you are ready, I welcome you once again to the celebration of sacred Mass which combines so beautifully the Sacred Scripture teachings and encouragement, while the Eucharist itself gives us that experience of His Divine Presence as food for the journey. There is no better way to start our week than with each other nurtured in faith!
I know that many young and fallen-away Catholics are missing that covenant of love. Many do not feel connected, fulfilled and knowledgeable about their faith. Others struggle with understanding the mission of our Church.
You can help us change that! You can uplift our faith community! First, I ask you to pray the rosary and invite others to pray it with you. Also, consider taking an active role in our parish community. A ministry listing is included in this report. Finally, I invite you to attend Mass weekly and become a good steward by offering the gifts God has given you. Those gifts support our missions and ministries that will help others encounter Christ.
I want to sincerely thank you for all that you have already given to our parish. Remember, your contributions keep this parish vibrant and impactful. Please remember our parish this year, and prayerfully consider increasing your stewardship so we can bring the Eucharist to those who so desperately need it.
With this report, we take an opportunity each year to communicate to you about our ministries, outreach, capital improvements, finances and parish statistics.
I invite you to come see for yourself. We have a seat waiting for you!
Yours in Christ,
Father John
