I thank all those who participated in our Parish Stewardship Weekend which was held a few weeks ago. There were a total of 75 households which responded out of our 1,486 registered families. This is a response rate of 5% from our parish. Of those responses $230,000 was committed to our parish for this year. Of those responses 5 committed to increasing their prayer for the good of the parish. 10 of the respondents desired information on specific ministries. Next year I would like to expand our response rate and goal to getting it a close to 100% as is possible.
The Diocese of Knoxville promotes a program known as #iGiveCatholic which coincides with Giving Tuesday which is December 1st. This year our parish will use any funds given to properly fix the guttering on the school which will prevent building damage and allow us to improve the look of the front of the school. One can give beginning November 16th all the way up to December 1st. For more information please look up the #iGiveCatholic website and look up our parish’s page under the Diocese of Knoxville.
Finally, I remind you of our Parish Open Forum which will be held on Monday from 6:30pm-7:30pm.
In Christ,
Fr. Dustin Collins
