HOLY CROSS CATHOLIC CHURCH August 13, 2017 NINETEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Agosto 13, 2017 As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ. 1 Cor 12. This verse captures our parish. Each family is a vital part to our success. Including events, about 40%, have made a financial commitment to the future of Holy Cross by pledging $2,463,161 While about 870 families have not yet pledged to the GIFT campaign, you can see our construction progress and our commitment to expand. A body cannot function properly, nor thrive, when over 50% of its parts are not fully engaged. We need everyone s love, prayers, support and financial commitment to continue moving forward. It is up to all of us, especially those who have not pledged to raise the remaining construction costs of over $5,000,000! Pledges can be made online at www.holycrosscc.org/gift or follow the links on our website to the GIFT Campaign. Donations can also be made to the GIFT Campaign in the envelopes in the pews, which can be placed in the collection basket. Give In Faith Today. Del mismo modo que el cuerpo es uno, aunque tiene muchos miembros, y todos los miembros del cuerpo, con ser muchos, forma un cuerpo, así también Cristo. 1 Corintios, 12. Este verso describe nuestra parroquia. Cada familia es una parte vital para nuestro éxito. Incluyendo los eventos, cerca del 40%, ha hecho un compromiso financiero para el futuro del Holy Cross con promesas que han alcanzado un total de $2,463,161. Mientras, cerca de 870 familias no han hecho su promesa para la campaña GIFT. Ustedes pueden ver la construcción en progreso y nuestro compromiso para ir creciendo. Así como el cuerpo no puede funcionar apropiadamente y prosperar cuando más del 50% de sus partes no están totalmente activas, nuestra parroquia tampoco. Nosotros necesitamos de todo su amor, sus oraciones y su apoyo financiero para continuar adelante. Depende de todos nosotros, especialmente de los que todavía no hacen su promesa para completar los costos de construcción mas de $5,000,000. Usted puede hacer su promesa en line en www.holycrosscc.org/gift o en nuestra página de internet yendo a GIFT Campaign. También puede hacer donaciones para la campaña GIFT usando los sobres que están disponibles en las bancas de la iglesia y poniéndolos en la canasta de la colecta regular.
