From Our Pastor
Thank you for being a member of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (ABVM) Parish. Your family is in my prayers and I hope you experienced personal renewal during this Easter Season.
You will notice, starting with this bulletin, that Stewardship of Time and Stewardship of Treasure information is now available. I so enjoy seeing our beautiful church filled with so many as we gather together and strengthen one another under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Each and every one of you are critically important to our faith community.
If you are like me, I imagine you are happy that spring is arriving and the cold is behind us. The winter months were particularly burdensome on our operating budget. We incurred additional operating costs for heat, snow removal, and outdoor salt; to name only a few.
Giving to ABVM is an essential part of our spiritual health and the financial health of our parish. Will you please pause to review your offertory giving and prayerfully consider how you might be able to increase your financial contribution? Additional financial resources to our parish will help us retain talent by offering employees a just wage and competitive benefits, address facility maintenance needs, and establish funds to prepare for the unexpected.
You may use traditional offertory envelopes when contributing. I also encourage you to consider using Online Giving. This is a convenient way to provide needed donation consistency and it strengthens our stewardship program.
Thank you for opening your heart to my messages.
Fr. Tony
