Dear Parishioners,
How blessed we are to be able to walk this earthly pilgrimage with one another as members of St. Louis de Montfort Catholic Church. No matter what is happening around us – be it a pandemic, challenges in our culture or social strife – St. Louis de Montfort is our safe haven. It is the place where we can come together, gathered around the Eucharistic table, to worship and serve our Lord.
With that in mind I thank you for the support you have given to our parish and I invite you to continue to do so. I humbly request your financial support of two separate, but equally important, renewal campaigns.
I invite you to pledge directly to help us continue to grow our parish liturgy, formation, outreach and school by completing and returning the pledge card you received in the mail, or by filling out this form.
With a separate pledge card, I ask you to support the Catholic Ministries Appeal. Which is in support of parishes (mostly in Central Indiana) but in reality our Catholic Faith and Evangelization around the world. A separate mailing focuses on the need for these funds and your support is needed as part of our parish commitment to this effort. More copies of the letter/pledge card are in the Narthex or parish office if needed. Also, I encourage you to visit www.dol-in.org/CMA to learn more about this Appeal.
On the weekend of January 30th I ask that you return both pledge cards back to the parish. Over the following week we’ll be able to tabulate them and have a clear vision of our parish finances for the rest of the year. From the parish survey last year the vast majority thought we didn’t talk about parish finances too often, so this is our attempt to focus on this for just the next two weeks. So please discern your gifts today.
St. Louis de Montfort is a place where we serve one another. Here, united in God’s love, we are a visible sign of the body of Christ and together we can accomplish amazing things. Nourished by prayer and the sacraments, members of our parish community are journeying on the path of discipleship and growing in relationship with Jesus Christ each day. We as a parish value formation in the faith and sharing our faith with others through evangelization. We also know the importance of bringing the love of God to our neighbors through acts of charity and service. We do all of this in His name.
Thank you for your generosity, prayers, and commitment to St. Louis de Montfort.
Under His Mercy
