Are You Looking for Your Offertory Envelopes for 2017? In past years, in order to save on postage, in December we have put all the new year’s offertory envelopes on tables in the vestibule for you to pick up when you come to Mass. But as you may have noticed, quite a number of people never picked up their envelopes, either because they had moved out of the parish or because they preferred not to have them anymore. So this year they will be mailed to you every month. This is an option that we think will ultimately save us money. First of all, it is not that expensive. Secondly, we will learn if the person is no longer in the parish or no longer wishes to receive envelopes. This will enable us to keep from ordering more envelopes than are needed and to maintain a more accurate list of active parishioners and so save us on other mailings.
A new church carpet will be installed the week of 1/16-20 (Monday through Friday). Any 6:30am Masses will still be celebrated in the chapel in the vestibule of the church, but the 8:45am Mass will be celebrated in the convent chapel. The main entrance to the convent (at 1330 14th Avenue) will be unlocked from 8:30am and then locked up again right after Mass.
As the year ends, if you are inclined to make charitable donations, please consider the following:
