Stewardship Corner July 2022
Once again the Stewardship Committee would like to say “thank you” for your generous support.
During the summer season the Stewardship Committee would like to remind you that the doors to the Church are always open, even in your absence, as the Church continues its loving mission of supporting the ministries of the Parish and all its members – that is, you and your family!
Please take a moment to make sure that you have sent in your 2022 pledge card and are in the process of fulfilling that pledge, especially throughout the summer months so we can continue our work to “build up the body of Christ” here on Park Blvd. That is our mission, and we intend to fulfill it through the many and varied ministries of the Church.
On behalf of the Parish Council, the Stewardship Committee once again says “thank you” and God bless you. If you are one of the many families that have sent in your pledge card for 2022, thank you. And we remind and respectfully ask those who have not to do so at their earliest convenience - thank you.
Sincerely and respectfully,
John T. Kalas, Stewardship Committee Chair
