Reflection
“Brothers and sisters: I should like you to be free of anxieties.” (1 Corinthians 7:32) How much anxiety do we bring upon ourselves by constantly worrying about not having enough or attaining more things? God won’t necessarily give you everything you want, but He will provide everything you need. Try this – use the word “pray” instead of the word “worry” in the future. Then pray for things instead of worrying about them.
Online Giving
Thank you to the many parishioners who have been so faithful with their ongoing financial support of the St. Mary's through their Sunday offering. Whether you drop your envelope off at Mass or mail it to the pastoral center, we are most grateful during this time when we are all experiencing financial challenges.
Consider signing up for WeShare, St. Mary's vehicle for electronic giving. Although we have cutback on parish expenses, voluntary giving through the Sunday offering is so important and our main source of parish income.
Please continue to to contribute to St. Mary's as best as you are able. More information can be found on the parish website here.
