Small children who carefully drop money into the collection basket often smile proudly as they settle back into their pews. Adults should likewise feel satisfied when they support their parish’s work. Your financial support also helps our parish bring Christ’s healing embrace to children, the elderly, the sick and the poor in our community. Your gifts also benefit you for Christ has promised, “Give and it shall be given to you… for the measure you measure with will be measured back to you”. (Luke 6:38)
