This year, in the midst of all that is going on in our world and our church, St. John-St. Paul Collaborative is focusing on the theme of Renewal. From our Adult Faith Enrichment Programming to our Family Faith Formation Program, renewal is afoot. We are blessed by a vibrancy in our parishes that stems from our newest parishioner to those who have been a critical part of this community for many years. From the youngest to the oldest, the work of renewal is all ours to do. This is work we do WITH God and FOR God.
This week all registered parishioners will receive both physical and electronic mailings regarding this year’s annual appeal. These messages and reports offer a glimpse of the Holy Spirit’s work in our Collaborative. They are also an invitation to consider how each of us is being called to support this work in real and tangible ways. In the physical mailing you will find your parish’s Annual Financial Report, which provides a detailed picture of the financial health of the parish, as well as a letter from Fr. Jim asking for your continued support in the year ahead (St. John Annual Financial Report and Annual Appeal St. Paul Annual Financial Report and Annual Appeal) Accompanying the electronic mailing will be links to a video for each parish from Fr. Jim, offering his own reflections as he enters his tenth year as our pastor.
Thank you for taking the time to carefully read these mailings, watch these videos, and to consider the Spirit’s invitation to renewal at this time in your own life and the life of our parishes.
