Dear Holy Trinity Family,

What’s going on in your life? Do you have something special? I would like to take a moment to talk about something very important to our parish community. It is about our Enhanced Offertory Program that we started from September to November last year.

First, I want to express my deep gratitude to everyone who completed an offertory increase intent card last November. Your prayerful discernment and generous response have been truly inspiring. Because of your commitments, we were able to set a parish budget for this year that allows us to continue our vital ministries while helping us achieve true financial independence one step closer and plan for other ministries and projects.

Now, I need to ask for your help. I have noticed that some families, who indicated their desire to participate on the commitment card, have not yet put that intention into action. I understand that life gets busy; we forget; we think we will do it next week. But here is the reality: our parish budge is based on the commitments you make. When intentions don’t translate into action, it creates a real gap between what we planned to do and what we can actually accomplish.

If you have not yet started your new giving level, I ask you to do so this week. If you have had to change your intention due to unforeseen circumstances, that is OK! Just let us know. If you did not make an intention last year, but you are ready to do so now, please stop by the parish office, and we can help. It takes just a few minutes, but it makes all the difference.

I also want to encourage everyone to consider electronic giving if you have not done it already. Many of you travel, get sick, or simply forget your envelope on a busy Sunday. That is human nature. Electronic giving ensures your gift reaches the parish consistently, even when you can’t be here. It is secure, convenient, and helps us budget with greater confidence. You can set it up once and know you’re fulfilling your stewardship commitment automatically.

Your generosity is not just about keeping the lights on; it is about building the Kingdom of God right here in our community of Holy Trinity. I sincerely thank you for your faithfulness, presence and supports to Holy Trinity. I am very grateful!

May God bless you abundantly for your generosity.

In Christ,

Fr. Brian
