VACATIONS
It is that time of year again. As you know bills continue on during your vacations. Please send in your contributions to the office at 2229 Hampton St., Columbia, SC 29204. Your support of St. Martin de Porres Church is greatly appreciated. Have a safe and healthy Summer.
GIVING
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: YOUR GIVING CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Have you given your share? Jesus gave his life for you, won’t you give him at least the cost of a cup of coffee and a doughnut? If 400 parishioners gave $25 per week (just $3.33 per day) this would yield $480,000 to the parish.
Example:
$3.33/day x 7 = $25 per week
$25 x 4 weeks = $100 per month
$100 x 12 months = $1200 per year
$1200 x 400 parishioners = $480,000 per year
