Special Events This Week
Parish Enrollment DriveOnline Giving Systems are now available to All Parishioners.This week we are embarking on an enrollment drive which is a very important element of our parish revitalization initiative.
As we develop a number of exciting new initiatives we need all our parishioners to Stand and Be Counted, to help us make the Archdiocese aware of the vitality of our congregation. An equally important part of this initiative is the very brief survey, which we ask all parishioners, whether enrolled or not, to complete. Your input will help us make our spiritual community more relevant for you and help us to better serve your interests and your needs.
At the end of the survey you’ll also see an invitation to become more involved in our community and to play a vital role in its revitalization.
If you will be out of town, please stop by the parish house to obtain a copy or, you can also find the survey online on the parish website today. If you have any questions or other comments / suggestions, please feel free to contact stmparishprograms@gmail.com. We hope you will accept this invitation to become a more engaged part of this new beginning for the parish we all love..
