Free Cognitive-Memory ScreeningWe Share
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who continue to support our parish during these very difficult times. As you may be aware, electronic giving, through WeShare, has helped sustain our parish, especially during the months when we could not worship in person. This weekend, we are not asking for additional donations, but we are asking you to consider changing the way you support our parish to WeShare.
WeShare is a very simple way for you to continue to financially support our parish. We understand that parishioners like to put their envelopes/donations in the offertory basket. You may continue to do so and write WeShare on the front of the empty envelope.
To enroll in WeShare please visit the parish website www.olgcstm.org and use the church specific "DONATE" button. If you have any questions, please contact Ed Litcher in the STM parish office.
