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,

ROOF REPLACEMENT FUND
Circumstances dictated that we replace the school’s roof and also the two sacristy flat roofs right away.
The total cost for this was $57,612.00. Everyone’s financial help is needed to cover this unexpected expense.
***As of this date we have received $37,036.00***
Balance to collect: $20,576.00
We thank the 377 families who have generously contributed to this fund. If you want to contribute to the roof fund,
Special envelopes labeled “Roof Fund” are available in the pews or you can mail your contribution to the parish office.
Please designate your donation for the roof fund - include your name and envelope number..
