SJTW Year end.

We are entering the final two months of our annual budget.   You have been wonderful in supporting the parish during this COVID year.  We ended the last calendar year in the black.  And while we are in the black for this year so far, we are also two employees less than we were a year ago.  If were to have them still on the payroll we would be in the red.  We would like to be able to hire people to fill these positions but without the income to pay for them that would be problematic.   I encourage you to look at your own pattern of giving.  Is it a true reflection of your thankfulness to God for the gifts you have received this past year?  As a staff we have tried any number of new ideas to help you and us to remain connected.  We have done quite well.  People have enjoyed the various ways and things we have done.  We have two months left for us to catch-up to our goal.  I ask you to step forward to help the parish regain its lost income.
