I would like to thank you for all you do to make Holy Infant the special parish that it is. Thanks to you, we have a Faith Community that is welcoming and provides a variety of ways for all to enhance their Faith. Without the generous contributions of time, talent, and treasure of the majority of our community, this would not be possible.
I need to ask for your generosity again. Our offertory collections, as noted in the bulletin and website, are below what is needed to sustain our current level of operations in Faith Development, Liturgy and Music, Pastoral Support, and supporting Staff. Before we consider making cuts to these needed programs and activities, we are appealing to you to consider making a modest increase to your Offertory contributions. A modest increase in giving by most of our parishioners would eliminate this deficit. If you are not contributing to the offertory, please join the community and give what you can to help sustain these critically needed programs.
Many of our recent projects and improvements have been funded by sources other than offertory, including the solar addition to the church, the church organ, and the Marian Grotto. The renovation of the DeSales Center is a special project funded through the funds from the Capital Campaign and donations received outside of the offertory.
If you can, please consider e-giving by signing up at holyinfantchurch.org/giving. For the many of you that are already contributing, thank you for your continued support of our wonderful and growing Parish. Fr. Robert Rutledge, OSFS
