Holy Family: We have raised nearly 1.5 million dollars in cash and pledges toward our building project. Thanks for your generosity to our building fund. St. Anthony: weekly offertory continues to hover in the $1, range. This is very good! Thank you! Here are some things to be aware of. Holy Family: While contributions to the building fund have been very good, the offertory is a bit down from this quarter last year. Given the fact that we are in a time of year that is typically slow and the fact we have raised $1.5 million for our new church, this is wasn t unexpected. St. Anthony: While offertory has been steady, we have lost at least one generous family in the last few months. Please continue to be as generous as you can to our Sunday collection. A huge thank-you to all of you for your continued financial support of your parish. Your contributions help us to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our communities.
