FINANCIAL UPDATE FISCAL YEAR JULY 1, 2017 - JUNE 30, 2018 Budgeted Weekly: $16,779 Collection for 2/18/18: $15,790 Collection for 2/25/18: $12,910 Variance for 2/25/18: $-3,869 As of 2/25/18 - Budget: $600,265 Actual: $597,130 Variance: $-3,135 CMA Goal: $137,267 Pledged: $103,890 Percentage: 76% Donors: 585 Next weekend our parish will join with Catholic parishes across the Diocese and country to take up the annual Catholic Relief Services collection. This special national collection helps support the U.S. Catholic community s global social ministry carried out in our name by six U.S. Catholic agencies, including Catholic Relief Services, Catholic Migration and Refugee Services, U.S. Bishops Justice, Peace and Human Development Ministry, and the Holy Father s Relief Fund. These agencies touch the lives of more than 100 million brothers and sisters all over the world annually. This annual CRS collection is different from the Lenten Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowl. The alms we contribute through Rice Bowl provide funding for specific projects while the annual CRS collection provides basic funding for the Catholic agencies. Thank you for your generous spirit. REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION Generally speaking, after age 70 and ½, you are required to take an annual withdrawal from your retirement investments. It s called a Required Minimum Distribution or RMD. If you allow your trustee to direct part or all of your RMD directly to a charitable organization like your church, the RMD would not increase your taxable income. And it would not increase the taxability of your Social Security benefits. It could benefit both you and your church if you had your trustee send part or all of your RMD to Holy Family Parish. UPDATE Manger: 39% Holy Ghost: 14% Pond: 14% Cemetery: 14% St. Helen: 19% Paver bricks should be arriving soon to Weckessor Bricks. The next step will be to pull the amount needed for the engraving process and deliver them to the engraver. When spring arrives, if ever, we will begin installing them. Thank you to all who have participated in this Fundraiser. The Parish of the Holy Family REGISTRATION REQUEST FORM It is always a great joy to welcome new members to our Community.

SUNDAY READINGS - March 11, 2018 - Fourth Sunday of Lent 1st Reading - 2 Chronicles 36:14-16, 19-23 2nd Reading - Ephesians 2:4-10 Gospel - John 3:14-21 If God was looking for a chance to condemn the world it is not for want of opportunities that He has not already done so. Beginning with the rebellion of Adam and Eve, continuing throughout the history of Israel s rebellion, and proceeding all the way through to our own, God has had ample opportunity to pull the plug on His disobedient creation. But He hasn t. So, rather than needing an excuse to destroy us, the real enigma is, what excuse does He have for saving us? This week s readings provide answers to this question. Often because we are conscious of our guilt we feel like we deserve God s wrath, not His love. Frequently, when terrible things happen to us, we subconsciously believe that it is God s punishment that is finally being meted out which isn t true. Often, we also try to offset this sense of condemnation by doing things to warrant God s love which we can t. God s feelings toward each of us are captured quite effectively by three phrases in this week s Scriptures; The great love with which He loved us, the immeasurable riches of His grace and kindness toward us God so loved the world. These and many more expressions of God s feelings toward us were all present and made before we did anything to merit them. That is what makes the Good News, Good News. God freely bestows His love on us who least deserve it. The whole issue of what we can do to warrant His love and earn His salvation can be illustrated by the following imaginary conversation encountered when a person died and desired to enter heaven. Of course, St. Peter meets this person at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter says, Here s how it works. You need 100 points to make it into heaven. You tell me all the good things you ve done, and I will give you a certain number of points for each item, depending on how good it was. When you reach 100 points, you get in. Okay, the man says. I was married to the same woman for 50 years and never cheated on her, even in my heart. That s wonderful, says St. Peter, that s worth three points. Three points? the man says. Well, I attended church all my life and supported its ministries with my tithe and service. Terrific! says St. Peter. That s certainly worth a point. One point? I started a soup kitchen in my city and worked in a shelter for homeless veterans. Fantastic, that s good for two more points, St. Peter says. Two points! the man cries. At this rate the only way I get into heaven is by the grace of God. Bingo, 100 points! Come on in! Humorously, the story makes the point, however this statement by Pope John Paul II speaks with much more authority: we must first clearly affirm our faith in Christ, the one Savior of humanity, a faith we have received as a gift from on high, not as a result of any merit of our own. They should be ever mindful that they owe their distinguished status not to their own merits but to Christ s special grace * Bingo! Could it be said more clearly? Condemnation is the other side of the same coin. If salvation from condemnation is a gift freely given us in Jesus Christ, then condemnation becomes something of our own choosing when we refuse to accept the gift. God is a perfect gentleman; He will not force salvation on us. John s Gospel says, He who does not believe is condemned already. The presupposition behind this statement is that when a person has heard the story of Jesus saving mission, and then makes a choice to either disbelieve the story, or believing the story to not entrust their life to Him, they expedite their own condemnation. God desires condemnation for no one, which is why He paid such a costly price to deliver us. He who believes is not condemned. Hallelujah, what good news!!
