Planned Giving My Parish Commitment (Week 3)
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
From the very beginning of His public ministry, Our Lord gathered communities around Him. He said that whenever even two or three met in His name He would be with them. The same is true today when we come together as the Parish community here. The Church has always been this living community that preaches the Gospel and celebrates the sacraments to make visible Christ presence in our world.
It also must sustain itself to achieve these ends. Like other parishes we do not receive any funding from the Government or other agencies; but unlike most other parishes, we do not receive any support from the Archdiocese for the maintenance and upkeep of our beautiful church. We must balance our books so as to ensure our long-term future and facilitate continuing the mission given by Jesus Christ to the first apostles. I’m very grateful for the support that so many people give to our Parish, and their continued participation in the life our community.
In the light of the many pastoral activities taking place here in the parish as well as the challenges presented to us by the upkeep of our church building, may I invite you please in the weeks ahead to reflect on your regular offertory contribution. Thank you, as always, for your generosity!
Fr Casper Mukabva
