STEWARDSHIP NEWS
The 2009 Stewardship Program has launched. Please look for the Stewardship package and pledge envelope in the mail. We suggest you budget your Stewardship contribution as you do your monthly home expenses. Paying it monthly makes it more affordable. For example, paying a Family Contribution of $475 monthly translates to $39.58 per month. Less then most of our cable bills. Please stop at the office or call to make your payment arrangements or installment plans. For those who have not completed their 2008 payments, please submit them as soon as possible. Christian Stewardship is everyone's responsibility not just for the few...For hardship situations, Father Dean and Father Greg are available to discuss other arrangements.
