The Offertory, or Collection, at Mass is an integral part of the Sunday liturgy. It is the primary source of funding to pay the parish bills, and it is an expression of our gratitude to God for the blessings He has given us. By our baptism we are called to be stewards of God’s gifts to us, to use them in ways that build up our families, our parish, our community, and our world. In that stewardship, we are encouraged to be deliberate and sacrificial in weighing our various obligations with our limited resources as we decide where to invest our time, money and effort.

El Ofertorio o Colecta en la Misa es una parte integral de la liturgia dominical. Es la principal fuente de financiación para pagar las facturas parroquiales y es una expresión de nuestra gratitud a Dios por las bendiciones que nos ha dado. Por nuestro bautismo somos llamados a ser mayordomos de los dones que Dios nos ha dado, a usarlos de manera que fortalezcan a nuestras familias, nuestra parroquia, nuestra comunidad y nuestro mundo. En esa gestión, se nos alienta a ser deliberados y sacrificados al sopesar nuestras diversas obligaciones con nuestros recursos limitados al decidir dónde invertir nuestro tiempo, dinero y esfuerzo.

If you prefer giving via envelopes, we’re happy to send them your way. You way also pick them up at the parish office. Any questions contact Guadalupe Mercado.
