Electronic Giving

02-20-2022Weekly ReflectionFr. Michael Straley

I met with our Finance Council last week, of course, there was good news and bad news. Such is life during a pandemic! At, our next quarterly meeting we will be looking at next year’s budget. Remember our fiscal year is July 1 - June 30.

A concern we saw involves our E-Giving Program. We have lost some electronic givers and not gained them back with new people. Electronic giving is a win-win for us all. It very much helps us with budgeting for next year and it helps you plan your budgeting as well. It also means you do not need to remember envelopes when coming to Mass...and sending the envelopes costs us money. You see: win-win!

Many of you are “part-time” members of the parish (I do not like to call people snow birds”). Maybe you could figure what you can donate for the year and spread it over 12 months. We love having you here for whatever time you spend with us.

In Christ, Fr. Mike

Please don’t send a letter saying, “Father Mike is always asking for money!” Remember, “God loves a cheerful giver!”
