Grand Annual Collection
Dear friends, peace.
 

February 5 Grand Annual Collection: $37,963.75
Goal: $140,000 

Increased Giving to the Grand Annual Collection (GAC)
Thank you all for your kindness to me when I spoke to you last weekend. You listened; I am grateful. And, I believe, you understand that our decline in Offertory income necessitates that:
1. Everyone who is able increase weekly Offertory giving by $2.
2. Everyone who is able contribute $175 to the Grand Annual Collection which will remain open from now till June, with a goal of $140,000.
 

FAITH
I offer my thanks especially to all of you who are moving to improve the practice of your Faith by doing what the Lord commands, namely, celebrate Mass every weekend: a minimum requirement for a believing Roman Catholic.

GIVING
And lastly I emphasize strongly that each person’s financial support of Holy Family Parish must be decided according to one’s means. Some will not be able to increase their offertory giving or find the $175 for the GAC. Let each one give what he or she can. Moreover, such advice extends to those of us who can contribute more than $2 offertory increase and/or more than the suggested $175 to the GAC. Let us all see our giving as our response to God from Whom in Christ we have received every good gift. Thanks for your interest, support and response. You are all in my prayers daily. Please may I be in yours. Last weekend Grand Annual Collection: $19,826.75
God bless. JFH
