Parish Notices for the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord, Year C
Stewardship – Your chance to give back!
This weekend, we will ask all parishioners to take a dedication form home and consider making a dedication of time, talents, and treasure. Please reflect on this, ask the Lord to guide you and respond with a generous heart. Please give serious consideration to what you can do, how you might offer your time and talents. If you are not currently contributing to the parish, please consider starting to do so. We need people to assist with various tasks. If you are not currently making a regular financial contribution to the parish, please consider making one. If you are making a monetary contribution, please consider giving a little more.
