ST. JOAN OF ARC - Saint Joan of Arc

ST. JOAN OF ARC
A message from your Pastor:
Dear Parishioners,
I am so excited about helping our community
go forward into our future as a community of
faith. I truly hope that soon we are going to
have a better response for people to lead
process and ministries here at St Joan of Arc.
I am very positive about the fact that we will
be able to congregate children and youth and
help them to be Christians not by tradition but
by heart, by conviction. I want to direct all efforts to build the Kingdom of God here. I am
so blessed having Fr. Andres who shares this
dream with me, as well as all the staff members. We want to work tirelessly for this goal.
But we alone can do nothing. We need you,
we need your time, your talents, and your
treasure. We need to keep our collection at
the English Masses over the line of $2800.
For two consecutive weeks, because of the
weather, the collection has gone increasingly
lower(Jan 9-10: $2500; Jan 16-17: $ 1859;
Jan 23-24: $1699). I know it is difficult for
each of you, but we really need your donation
even if you aren’t able to come to church. At
least you can catch up with your donation for
the week you were absent. As a result of this
need, we are trying to implement Online giving in our parish. It will be easier, faster, and
extremely secure. We will have bank level
security for transactions made through our
web page once we have the app to do it. We
will meet all the requirements of the law for
the donor’s privacy and we won’t have any
access to your bank account or personal information. It will be easier to get the tax statements for you and you will have complete
control over your donation, either by setting
the periodicity, and the amounts for each. We
will have a survey this weekend to have an
idea of how you feel about this. Any way it is
a fact that parishes that have done it are improving their stewardship. May God keeps us
all in his service and love.

4to Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario " El amor es
paciente, el amor es servicial. No es envidioso, ni
arrogante" (I Corintios 13:4) ¿Te da envidia? ¿Te fijas más
en las cosas que tienen otras personas que en los dones que
Dios te ha dado? ¿Eres arrogante? Adquieres más
posesiones para impresionar a otros. A veces todos somos
culpables de esas cosas. Ora por más humildad. Ora para
ser menos egocéntrico y más centrado en Dios.
