good shepherd: Stewardship
Envelopes are available to all parishioners and will be sent to your home mailing address. There are green temporary envelopes in the pews for your use until you receive your regular envelopes. Your generosity helps the parish provide basic services.
“Be generous distributors of God's manifold grace, put your gifts at the service of one another, each in the measure you have received.” (1 Pet 4:8-10)
New Offering Envelopes
We are so happy with our new offering envelopes from Our Sunday Visitor. The biggest complaint with our old envelope company was the late delivery of envelopes.
