Fr Roy's Communique for Sep 28 2025
TWENTY-SIXTH SUNDAY ORDINARY-(C)



Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Welcome to the Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time!

I invite you to celebrate the Word of God by taking time to read and reflect on the message of the Holy Spirit for you during this celebration.  


Letter from Fr Roy


September 14, 2025

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
