Stewardship of Treasure Campaign
Oct 25/26 – Kick-Off Weekend | Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
As we begin our annual focus on the Stewardship of Treasure, we invite you to take a moment to reflect on how God has blessed you over the past year. This week, you will receive a letter from Fr. Tuan encouraging you to consider how you might return a portion of those blessings to our parish community.
Your generous gifts directly support our mission of helping one another encounter Jesus Christ in meaningful and transformative ways.
Next week, one of our parishioners will share more about how your stewardship makes a difference in the life of our parish.
It’s easy to make your stewardship of treasure pledge to our parish:

Outreach Community
Parish Family- Facilities Team
We need parishioners to join our facility team. Volunteering as part of the facility team is a beautiful way to serve God and your parish community. By helping care for the church, you contribute to maintaining a sacred space where we gather to worship, pray, and seek comfort. Your efforts, no matter how small, help create a welcoming and peaceful environment for others to encounter God. It's a humble and rewarding form of stewardship that allows you to give back to the church that nourishes your faith, while also strengthening bonds with fellow parishioners as you work together for a common purpose.
