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
ALTAR FLOWERS
The altar flowers this weekend are donated by the Ekure Family.
