Preparing the Way Campaign Update: “How can I repay the LORD for all the good done for me?” – Psalm 116:12.
Preparing the Way campaign offers each of us an opportunity to practice true Christian Stewardship by supporting our dio-cese and parish. Please do whatever you can to make the campaign a success in our parish by pledging if you have not done so. We made our parish goal and raised 253.545, which equals 114% of our goal. We already got the seventh rebate for an amount of $1.634.20 which go towards our building fund. A big thanks to the 105 families who already pledged!
There are two more rooms in the parish hall available for sell. Maybe you can join other parishioners or families to buy one of them. Thanks to all of you because this is go-ing to help us tremendously mainly to furnish and get what is needed for each room. May God reward you abundantly.
We would like to invite our youth to participate in the Youth Group which meet every Friday from 7:00-9:00pm. No need to register before attending.
