WEEKLY SERVICES & INTENTIONS Finance Corner Last weekend the plate collection was $3,846 and the Catholic University/ Communications/ Campaign for Human Development was $745. Second Collection The Second Collection next weekend is for the Maintenance and Repair Fund of our parish buildings and grounds. Stewardship Corner The blind man was willing to let Jesus minister to him and willingly did all Jesus asked of him. The Pharisees were more resistant to His message, spending their time and energy to disprove the miracle. Which am I more like, the man born blind or the Pharisees? Leave a Legacy A relatively new way of making a planned charitable gift is for the donor to designate a charity such as our parish as the recipient of a personal IRA account or other retirement account. Talk to your tax preparer or financial advisor about how you can leave a legacy through a retirement account. Please be reminded that the only way can get a yearend statement of your contributions for taxes is by using your envelopes/or your parish number. You must be a registered member of the parish to get year-end tax statements. Call the office at 442-6466 if you want to register or you have a change in address or phone. Choir Practice
