Let us give thanks for our parish community!  Each of you brings talent, prayer, financial resources and dedication to our parish and our Catholic faith.  Together we have accomplished much toward our parish mission and have made many positive contributions to our community through our tithes and ministries.

God challenges us to use our gifts to enhance our faith journey.  We use our talents and skills to pursue careers, family life, entertainment and pastimes.  And we enjoy a lifestyle and possessions that reflect the success of our efforts.  But as we continue on our faith journey, we must prayerfully consider what we have achieved and what we can contribute to our parish community.  We have the responsibility to use our gifts to carry on the mission of our parish and the Catholic Church.

As you reflect on your gifts to the parish, consider our journey and the impact we make not only within our parish, but to those outside our parish.  Be thankful for your gifts, talents and financial resources and prayerfully consider how you allocate the gifts you have been given.

We have been blessed with abundance and have established a strong parish community.  Thank you for your generosity, your commitment and your continued support.
