The Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
But as it is written:

and what has not entered the human heart,
what God has prepared for those who love him,”
this God has revealed to us through the Spirit.

BISHOP'S ANNUAL STEWARDSHIP APPEAL
|
|
Our Bishop’s Annual Stewardship Appeal (BASA) is now underway. Please prayerfully consider a pledge to the Appeal using the response card mailed to you or by completing a commitment envelope at Mass next weekend. Our annual theme, “One Faith, One Family” reminds us that we are members of something much greater than ourselves. This 150th anniversary year, BASA invites each of us to join as a faith community in support of the beautiful mission of the Church. We are called to be good stewards of all that we have been gifted with. We have the opportunity to proclaim His love and faithfulness through sharing the blessings we have gratefully received from Him. We ask that you commit this invitation to prayer and if you are able, please come prepared to respond next week. Your gift should be in addition to what you are already giving to Holy Faith. Please know that every gift is important and we are sincerely grateful for any $ amount offered. God Bless!

Please be sure to designate Holy Faith Parish when you setup your gift.
