Fr. Rob's Message

Dear Friends,

These past weekends celebrating Pentecost, Trinity Sunday, and the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ have been enriching moments for me to contemplate the richness of our faith. We are so blessed by the presence of our Lord in our lives and His abundant and unconditional love for each and every one of us!

As I mentioned in my homily last weekend, this abundant presence of Himself in each and every one of us through the Eucharist is a treasure to share with others by the lives we lead!

This awareness brings renewed joy to my heart and soul. I am like you; our day-to-day experiences may not always bear constant joy. I do have more reasons to acknowledge joy, day to day, when I am aware of and focused on the Lord Jesus who is ever before me.

HAVE YOU MOVED YOUR ON-LINE DONATION TO PUSH PAY?

Many of you have moved to our new on-line giving solution, Push Pay—THANK YOU! Your quick response to the change from our prior solution, and your continued stewardship is appreciated.

Those of you who have not yet moved from WeShare or ECatholic—please do so THIS WEEKEND! Just go to your parish website, and set up your new on-line donation, it’s easy and should only take 5 minutes. We will cancel your donation in the old system, and make sure that there were no ‘double deductions’.

We are hoping to have all of our on-line donors moved to Push Pay by July 1! THANK YOU!

If you have any questions, please contact Dan Hofford (Daniel.hofford@dor.org) or Katie Mulcahy (katie.mulcahy@dor.org) or by calling the parish office.
