Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 1 November 11, 2018 CALLED TO SERVE AS CHRIST CAMPAIGN PARTICIPATION CHALLENGE! Dear Families of Our Lady of Fatima Parish, I want to keep you up to date on the progress we re making with the Called to Serve as Christ campaign. Our families at Our Lady of Fatima have currently raised $221,955 toward our goal of $1,045,118. These gifts come from only 42 families! The volunteer team and I are continuing our efforts to talk with as many families as possible. Please open your hearts and answer their phone calls, emails and Facebook messages as they are doing this as a favor for our parish and the archdiocese. They are not telemarketers, but good volunteers doing good work. Our volunteers are: Marco Magnano, Alan Lamsek, Carmen Pelayre, Catey Hagelin, Lois Leff, Brenda Sevilla-Miranda, and Nicholas Ford. Participation is most important to me, so we are starting a participation challenge: I would like to see our total participation from 5% pledges and gifts to reach 100% participation from all our families. As your pastor, I am asking that you give serious consideration to making a financial gift to this important effort. EVERY pledge is important and EVERY gift makes a difference. Yours in Christ, Pastor If you would like more information or to make a gift, please visit the campaign website at www.calledtoserveaschrist.org.
