Stewardship
We thank you
for your contributions this year and remind you to make or renew your
financial support for our parish by filling out your pledge form for
2009 which is linked on the right.
There
Are Three Pledges:
1. ANNUAL
PLEDGE: This money is what supports the parish's
day-to-day expenses and helps us to achieve our budget. Without these
funds the parish cannot function properly. We hope and pray that you
fulfill your financial commitment(s) towards your parish. If you miss a
Sunday, you can always bring your pledge up-to-date the following
Sunday or you can even mail your pledge to the Church address. (Do Not
Send Cash By Mail). We have a budget that we have to meet, but we
cannot do it without your financial commitment. Just to give you an
idea, the average pledge in our Parish needs to be $1,200 per year per
pledging unit ($3.29 a day).
2. BUILDING
FUND: This fund is for building a New Church. Please do not
forget to pledge toward this very essential fund. It is the
backbone of our New Church Project.
3. ARCHDIOCESE
ASSESSMENT: The General Assembly that was held during the 2005
Archdiocese Convention in Detroit voted that the Archdiocese adopts a
new system called "Proportional Giving". The meaning of the
"Proportional Giving" is that as of the year 2008 each parish of the
Archdiocese MUST contribute 10% of its annual operating budget. Part of
this budget is the annual contribution each and every one of us pays to
the Archdiocese through his/her parish, formerly called "Archdiocese
Assessment." In order for our Parish to pay the Archdiocese the 10%
this year, each pledging unit is obligated to pay $70 for the year
2009, regardless of age, in addition to his/her weekly/monthly/annual
pledge(s) to the Parish.
Our Parish DOES NOT receive any financial support
from anyone other than you, beloved Parishioners. Therefore, we urge,
recommend and encourage all the working beloved who are 18 years of age
and older to start / continue contributing and pledging.
