Envelopes If you are sending church envelopes in for multiple weeks at one time to the Parish Center, and they are all for one fund, for example “Sunday Col-lection,” then you only need to put your contribution in one envelope. We only record these contributions as of the date when we receive them, not as of the date on the envelope. But if you are sending in more than one fund at a time, then you need to fill each envelope. The different envelopes (such as Buildings & Grounds, Capital Campaign, etc.) get deposited into separate accounts and needs a separate contribution. Please send in your contribution with your entire church envelope. We need the whole envelope for recording purposes. This will save the coun-ters time, from looking up your number and filling out a blank envelope with your information. Thank you for your help!
Spanish Mass Due to Coadjutor Bishop Louis Tylka’s visit next Sunday, the Spanish Mass will be on Saturday, August 22nd, at 6:30 p.m., for next weekend only.
