Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I'm writing to you today with a heart full of gratitude and a hopeful
vision for our shared future. Over the past decade, your steadfast
financial contributions have been a rock for our church, allowing us
to maintain our essential spiritual and charitable services. Your
unwavering support has made a tangible difference in the lives of
many within our community, and for that, we are eternally grateful.
As you know, our world is experiencing a time of rising costs. This
has unfortunately led to a significant 30% increase in our annual
expenditures for church maintenance and various projects. These
projects are vital to ensuring our church remains a safe, welcoming,
and vibrant hub for all of us. In light of this, we are calling on
you to get involved in a new way. Our upcoming social events aren't
just for fun; they serve a dual purpose. First, they are an
opportunity to deepen the bonds that hold our community together. By
sharing meals, laughter, and conversation, we strengthen the fabric
of our church family. Second, these events will be crucial in helping
us meet our new financial obligations. Your active participation will
directly support the church in covering these increased costs.
Your continued regular giving is, and always will be, the foundation
of our church's operations. We ask that you please continue this
vital support. However, by actively participating in our social
events, you can provide an additional layer of support that will help
us address the current financial challenges without compromising the
services we provide.
Let's come together to build a stronger community and a more secure
future for our church. We look forward to seeing you at our next
event.
Fraternally yours In Christ, Our Lord,
Fr. Roy Margallo
Pastor
