parish stewardship appeal, January 2023
Parish family,
Every winter, Sacred Heart launches its Financial Stewardship Campaign. As you know, we would not be able to do anything without the steady generosity of our parishioners.
This year we are focusing on the theme, “Give Back, Grow Deeper.” Sacred Heart has been relatively stable in terms of membership and finances over the last few years. However, we are not called to stagnate; we are called to growth. You see growth in nature, you want it for your family, you need it in your professional life. Growth is a natural part of life, and it should be the goal of the individual spiritual life and the life of our faith community.
We want to grow deeper as a community– better programs, more and better faith formation, more service to others, more missionary spirit– and we always want to grow in membership. We can’t just look at our current situation but must look to the future to ensure the viability and vibrancy of our parish in the years to come. By giving back to God’s Church your time, talent, and treasure, your own faith has the opportunity to grow deeper. When we invest in the Church we love, in a way we take ownership of it. Our concern grows, and with our concern, our care and our faith.
As you know, Father Ricardo renewed his term at Sacred Heart to the maximum term a few years ago. He is committed to Sacred Heart, but says, “I want to be the pastor of a growing and vibrant faith community.” The growth of our parish requires the growth of your generosity, which is the appeal I make to you today: Consider growing your financial support as much as you want the parish to grow, both in depth and in reach.
We will ask you to pray about your pledge for the coming year and fill out the enclosed Commitment Card accordingly. We would like you to bring the Commitment Card to the parish during the weekend of January 28 and 29 so that we can pray over and bless these commitments. Commitment cards are also available in the parish office at any time.
Father Ricardo and I are so proud and thankful to have you as a part of our Faith Community.
Pray for me as I pray for you,
Jessica Panlener
Temporary Parish Administrator
