Making a Bold Commitment

Commitment to Parish Life is a bold venture recognizing the mutual relationship we have as parish towards people and as parishioners towards the parish.  Certainly as a parish we have evolved over the years.  We now embrace folks from all over the world, virtually every continent except Antarctica, and Australia.  We have brilliant people in every job imaginable (at least the ones I can imagine).  Everyone bring their various talents and prayer style to worship.  It is truly a gift from God.  In return the parish attempts to give back in providing a vibrant worship, education, activities that require an investment of time, effort, and commitment to making the world a better place.  To provide all of these things, however, we need financial assets to cover the expenses.  Every month about 500 families give to the parish.  Imagine the results if every family gave just $10 more per weekend?  That would be about $20,000 more per month.  Not only would we have enough to provide all of these ministries but we would have enough to maintain the building and continue to hire quality ministers on our staff.  God has been incredibly generous to us.  Giving to the church is one way of saying “Thank you” to God for all that we have already received.  Fr.
