Prayer for Generosity
Dear Lord, teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve you as you deserve; to give and not count the cost;
To fight and not heed the wounds; to toil and not seek for rest; to labor and not ask for reward,
Except to know that I am doing your will. Amen.
. . . St. Ignatius of Loyola

Almighty God
My parish is composed of people like me.
I help to make it what it is.
It will be friendly, if I am friendly.
Its pews will be filled, if I help to fill them
My parish will do great work, if I work with my parish
It will make generous gifts to many just causes,
If I am a generous giver.
It will welcome other people to our worship and fellowship
If I invite and welcome them.
It will be a Church of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith,
And a Church with a noble spirit,
If I am filled with these same qualities.
Therefore with the help of God,
I shall dedicate myself to the task
Of being all the things that I want my parish to be.
Bless our journey together, Lord God,

Balance to collect: $24,231.00
We thank the 305 families who have generously contributed to this fund. If you want to contribute to the roof fund,
