Third Sunday of Advent: December 11, 2011

My Dear Parishioners:

Traditionally at St. Edward the Confessor Parish, there is a twice annual collection called “My Gift to the Parish”. This collection happens on the weekends before Christmas and Easter. This is a very important collection and parishioners have always been most generous. So, here we are in this Advent Season 2011 requesting your generosity once again.

This past year, we have had the rectory shingled and have had necessary electrical work done on the Parish property. As in your homes, there is a continual need for upkeep for the Church and the Rectory. During the winter months, there is the cost of snow plowing and sanding, which we hope will not be needed very often this year. But truly, there is always something to do that costs money. So, December 17/18 is the “My Gift to the Parish” weekend and we are asking for your support.
We are sincerely grateful to all of you, and please know how very much your kindness and generosity is appreciated!

Fr. Leroy
