Project Advance 2010 – Bearing the Light
Now that our goal for the Archdiocese has been fulfilled all the money we raise comes back to the parish. So far only 23.5% of the parish has participated, and I thank them for their contribution. Everyone who is a member of the family at St. Francis de Sales Parish has an obligation to see that the message of Christ, handed down to us through the Church, continues to grow and develop. The parish plant facilitates this through a place to worship and give praise and thanks to God and receive his sacraments, a school building to educate our children, either through our religious education program or through the regular school, with a Catholic view of the world and how to live as Catholic gentlemen and ladies. Project Advance helps see that these structures are maintained and that new projects like the pre-school happen. Our percentage of participation is an important indicator of our level of commitment as a parish in this regard. I encourage you to raise this percentage by giving what you can as even a little bit makes a difference.
