Dear Parishioners:

  

I am happy to enclose our Annual Report for the Fiscal Year 2011. This report shows St. Francis de Sales Parish income and expenses from July 2010 to July 2011. Through your generosity and support, we have accomplished much at St. Francis de Sales. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do for our parish financially, as well as in volunteer service. We are a blessed community of faith!

 

Your regular contributions through the Sunday collections, the use of parish envelopes and Electronic Fund Transfers allow us to pay our bills week after week. Your response to my call for help to replace the boilers in the Worship Center was overwhelming. We were able to pay for the new boiler, new control system and begin to put some money away toward replacing the air conditioner in the near future. Again I thank you.

 

As you know we are now involved in a capital campaign called Embracing Our Mission—Shaping Our Future.  This is a combined effort with the Archdiocese of Baltimore to raise capital funds for need across the Archdiocese as well as for our own future growth. We are striving to raise $1,600,000 over the next five years. Your pledges, prayers and support are greatly appreciated.

 

Of course, even in the midst of a capital campaign we still have to pay our regular bills. Your continued support is essential. As you know the cost of everything from electricity to the bread and wine we use at Mass continues to rise. If you are able to increase your weekly giving even a dollar or two, it would be a great help. Whatever you are able to give, however, if it comes from a grateful heart, will be met with equal gratitude from me, and great blessing from our generous God who gave his only Son to be our Savior.

 

With prayers for your intentions and gratitude for all that you do for St. Francis de Sales, I am

 

In Christ,

 

 

Rev. Charles M. Wible

Pastor
