As we start returning to having activities here at the parish other than weekday and weekend Masses, Confessions, Weddings, and Funerals, we have been invited by diocesan leadership to have our staff and our parish community to re-imagine our parishes to be “centers of evangelization.” Pope Francis has written that “pastoral ministry in a missionary key seeks to abandon the complacent attitude that says: ‘we have always done it this way’. I invite everyone to be bold and creative in this task of rethinking the goals, structures, style and methods of evangelization in their respective communities.” In the coming months, I will be working with our staff, our Parish Pastoral Council, our Knights of Columbus, and others to join me in re—imagining our St. Timothy Parish as we move forward. It ought to be a challenging, exciting time ahead. Let’s first get back into the Church for Masses though, right?

The most recent numbers are these:

• Our share of the diocesan goal:  $158,000

• Total pledges/gifts so far:   $ 246,346

• Number of pledges/gifts:   380 

• Amount paid on pledges/gifts:   $187,548  

Every dollar donated now comes directly to our parish for our PSA case (10% to a parish in need; 90% to fund our new “sight and sound” ministry of speakers/television screens/control center in the church). 

Thank you to all who have already donated; for those who haven’t, I call upon your prayer and discernment in deciding what you are able to give this year. The PSA case for our parish is designed to serve all of our parishioners as we come to Mass each week. Hence, we need as many as possible to make a financial gift as a sign of your participation in parish life.

This year our annual VBS will be a hybrid of in-person meetings and online activities, but will not be short on FUN!!!
