BULLETIN CONNECTION
This week's second reading emphasizes the importance of who we are as baptized followers of Christ. We are built up into a new spiritual house. The members of the faith are an interconnected communion; we do not exist on our own. Just as a building cannot be made of one stone, so too, the Church cannot be built of a single person. All are built up together on the foundation of Christ.
Using a series of titles that described God's chosen people in the Old Testament, the author now applies them to the Christian community. We are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of God's own. Our baptism makes us that. Our daily living is meant to show that.

CONTINUING OUR TRADITION - April 17, 2005
Goal -
$1,500,000.00
Total paid to date (pledge payments and additional gifts)
$1,359,928.70
Pledge still outstanding
$ 143,071.30
$1,500,000.00
Thank you to all who continue to give gifts and make pledge payments. We
appreciate your kindness.
Even though we do not have a "Gifts still needed" balance at
this time, it will not always be that amount. As people become unemployed, move
to a nursing home or out of the parish or pass away in death, they will not be
able to pay their pledge. As we become aware of these situations, you will
notice any unpaid pledges moved to the "Gifts still needed" column. |
