Increased Donations
If you own a home or pay rent, you realize that inflation is a part of your life. If you have chil- dren, you also notice that the price of food, cloth- ing, and other accessories increases from time to time. I hope you understand that the same is true of your parish. For example, all our employees receive a 3% salary increase in the month of Sep- tember. At a minimum, our employees receive $16.50, which will increase to $17 in the new year.
This does not include the health benefits. A simple list of our ongoing expenses includes: heating, electricity, housekeeping, bread, wine, candles, brochures and all other necessities for liturgies, ongoing maintenance of our heating and air conditioning systems, and ongoing landscap- ing care of the church grounds. This is just one example of what our parish spends at any given time. Now, for those of you who are generous (donating $5 a week), we thank you. But for those who continue to give only ($1 or $2 per week or, worse, give nothing), I plead with you to consider doing your fair share for the continued life of the parish we all love.
Many of you come from countries like Ecuador and Colombia, which are Catholic nations where the church receives government subsidies. This is not the case in the United States. We live or die as religious institu- tions because of the support we have from the congregation. I thank you for listening and hope- fully responding to parishioners' need for a small increase in your weekly offering.

ADVERTISING AD SPONSORS ARE NEEDED FOR OUR NEW BULLETIN!
This month we are appealing to local businesses and neighboring faithful to sponsor ad space in our bulletin. This weekly bulletin is a main source of communication for registered families, and an important touchpoint for visitors to our parish. We are currently in need of businesses who are looking to advertise locally and build awareness. As an advertiser, your business will be seen as a trusted source in the community. You can count on the support from our parish leadership team and fellow parishioner families and friends. Even if you don’t own a business, you can still sponsor a space for a charitable cause, to honor a memory, ask for prayers, or purchase as a gift for a friend to support their new or existing business.

We would like to thank our current and renewing advertisers for their support of our parish and hope that you consider selecting goods and services advertised in this bulletin. For those interested in placing a new ad, please contact the parish office or call Robin Ungaro with LPi (our bulletin publisher) directly at 203-747-5671.
