As Christmas, December 25th, falls on a Sunday this year, a serious problem arised for our parish and for that matter, every parish. The offerings from Christmas Day usually amount to more than the offerings received on a regular Sunday. The same thing happens the following week with the Holy Day, January 1st falling on a Sunday.
The impact upon the parish budget will be nearly $30,000.00. While this year's date was considered when estimating the parish income for 2011. it will cause a problem if everyone ignores the opportunity of making a special Christmas and New Year donation/gift to our beloved parish.
Please keep this in mind when you prepare your offerings for Sunday, Dec. 25th and Sunday, Jan. 1st. As stewards of the gifts God has entrusted to you, be mindful of this reality for the next two Sundays. Thank you!
