A Stewardship of Engagement
A Message from the Pastor
Dear Holy Family Parishioners,
If you heard my recent stewardship homily, I tried to summarize all the ways your past generosity has benefited our Parish community. We have enhanced ministry programming for all age groups, made significant improvements to our facility, and added three very strategic staff positions. Together with Fr. John Raphael, our Pastoral Team, and in consultation with our Finance Committee and Parish Council, I believe we have positioned Holy Family to be a second home for you, our Parishioners – to feed you spiritually through our beautiful liturgies and faith formation programs to meet each of you where you are in your faith journey.
In my homily I also introduced our new Step Up program. As many of you are experiencing tighter budgets in your own household, early in this new fiscal year, Holy Family is experiencing reduced weekly collections and increased operating costs. I respectfully ask each of our families to give prayerful thought and meaningfully participate in our Step Up program. Please contact the office with any questions and ways you can step up.
In today’s challenging times, it is more important than ever to experience the fullness of Christ’s love and extend His compassion and peace to all. I assure you of my prayers for you and your family.
Sincerely,
