Just $5 Can Make the Difference

The Parish of St. Joseph the Worker is made up of over 2000 households, over 90 zip codes, and extremely talented people.  When you put them all together you get a dynamic congregation that is involved in lots of activities and providing service to many people within our towns and cities.  We are finding that about ½ of the people enrolled in the parish contribute financially to the wellbeing of the parish.  Imagine the difference if each family gave just $5 more per weekend.  That would be $5000 per week and about $260,000 more per year.  Our financial difficulties would be solved.  Obviously some people cannot give more for various reasons.  But for the rest of us, sacrificing one coffee latte per week would make the difference.  I have to believe that you believe God is worth more than one coffee per week?  We have been taxing our reserves for building and debt reduction over the past several years.  We cannot continue to do that and still survive.  Are you doing your part to ensure this faith family remains as healthy and strong as your family in your house?
