HOLY CROSS CATHOLIC CHURCH May 27, 2018 THE MOST HOLY TRINITY 27 de Mayo, 2018 Give in proportion to what you own. If you have great wealth, give alms out your abundance; if you have but little, do not be afraid to give alms even of that little. Tobit 4:8 This scripture holds a message that we don t often want to hear, but needs to be said at times. All too often, we allow others to take the lead, or volunteer, or serve in the church, or help with the projects while we sit back and enjoy the benefits. We feel justified because we don t have enough time, or we don t know enough about how to do something, or we don t have enough money to do what is being asked of us. Let us remember we all have something to offer. It is up to us to use what God has given us in large and small measures. As ordinary time resumes, let s make an effort to make these EX- TRAORDINARY times by sacrificing and giving in proportion to what we own. As of May 2018, we have $3,015,000 of the $ 6,100,000 needed thanks to the faithful who have given. We need your prayers, pledges and donations to the GIFT Campaign as we continue Phase 2 of our building renovations. Our goal is to reach $4,000,000 by the feast of Holy Cross. Please do what you can!. Pledges can be made online at www.holycrosscc.org/gift by following the link on our website to the GIFT campaign. Donations can be placed in the GIFT campaign envelopes in the pews and placed in the collections basket or GIFT box in the back of the church. Give In Faith Today to share. Thank you. Da generosamente si tienes mucho, da mas si tienes poco, da menos pero no vaciles en dar Limosna. Tobias 4:8 Esta escritura contiene un mensaje que no queremos Oir a menudo, pero a veces hay que decirlo. Con demaciada frecuencia, permitimos que otros tomen la iniciativa o se ofrescan como voluntaries o sirvan en la Iglesia, o ayuden con los proyectos, mientras nosotros nos sentamos y disfrutamos de los beneficios. Nos sentimos justificados por que no tenemos tiempo suficiente, o no sabemos lo suficiente, sobre como hacer algo, o no tenemos suficiente Dinero, para hacer lo que se nos pide. Recordemos que todos tenemos algo que ofrecer. Depende de nosotros usar lo que Dios nos ha dado en medida grande o pequeña, a medida que el tiempo Ordinario Comienza, hagamos un esfuerzo para hacer estos momentos Extraordinarios. Sacrificando y dando en proporcion de lo que poseemos. Hasta Mayo del 2018, tenemos $3 015,000 de $6 100,000 que nesecitamos, gracias a los fieles que han contribuido, con Oraciones, promesas,y donaciones, a la campana GIFT. Continuamos la 2da Face de nuestro Proyecto, nuestra meta es de alcanzar $4 000,000 para cuando celebremos la Festividad de Holy Cross! Por favor as lo que puedas para apoyarnos. Las Promesas pueden hacerse a la pagina de Internet de la parroquia que es www.holycrosscc.org/ GIFT siguiendo el logo de GIFT campana de donaciones, o en los sobre que se encuentran en las Bancas con el logotipo de GIFT, depositelo en la canasta de la colecta, o en la caja de madera que se encuentra a la entrada de la Iglesia que se llama GIFT.
