Saturday: After 8:00 am Mass
The Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
No matter how just your words may be, you ruin everything when you speak with anger.
This quotation reminds me of my Bulletin letter of a couple of weeks ago where I spoke about Old Fezziwig’s Christmas party in Dicken’s A Christmas Carol. The Ghost of Christmas Past brings Scrooge to his younger days and a Christmas Eve party thrown by Fezziwig. The Ghost points out that it was a small financial matter, perhaps three of four pounds, to make the employees so jovial and full of gratitude. Scrooge, beginning to learn from his mistakes, points out that his boss had the power to render his employees happy or unhappy; to make their service light or burdensome; a pleasure or a toil – and that this power lay not in the money paid out, but more in Fezziwig’s words and demeanor. In his treatment of his employees, Fezziwig gave more happiness than if it had cost him a fortune. Small things can make a great impact. A little kindness can go a long way.
The Development Office has received pledges totaling $75,672. This represents 102.26% of our $74,000 goal. Thank you to the 275 families who gave so generously to the 2023 Bishop’s Annual Appeal.
If you have already contributed for this year, we thank you for your generosity. If you have not, please prayerfully consider what you might be able to comfortably contribute. Every little bit helps. If every registered parishioner gave just $40, we would meet our goal. Because of the generosity of those who have already contributed, if every regular Mass attending family who has not yet donated this year gave just $40, we would meet our parish goal. For your convenience, envelopes have been inserted in this week’s Bulletin. They can be placed in the collection baskets, mailed to or left with the parish office, or mailed directly to the Diocese. To make giving a little easier, you can make a pledge and then pay it over time. Thank you in advance for your generosity. God bless
