I. Enriching Parish Life and Community Outreach
A designated donation for Parish Life and Community Outreach works to renew our changing parish needs in three primary ways:
✺
Education — to provide solid and orthodox faith formation for our children and parish community through ongoing Adult Faith Formation (RCIA), Religious Education and and an active Youth Ministry.
✺
Sacred Music — to strengthen our Sacred Music Ministry, an integral aspect of the liturgy.
✺
Community — to respond to spiritual needs of our parish community, creating open invitation to others to visit and become part of our faith community.
II. Renewing Our Church Buildings
Your donation designated for renewing our church buildings will help us restore, maintain, and renew God’s House at Our Lady of the Pillar.
III. Contributing to the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal
Your designated AAA donation assists in funding the overall budget of the Archdiocese, providing services parishes cannot do themselves.
