 Cancellation of Mass is leading to significant losses in our offertory income, which is placing all our ministries and operations at significant risk. Many people in our parish and community depend upon your regular, weekly offertory contributions and, during this current challenge, they are needed more than ever.
Please consider giving online at Give Central (see giving button on the bottom of this website) where you can make a weekly offertory contribution to our St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta Parish/St. Barbara Church family and keep the vital ministries and services we provide going. We ask you to prayerfully consider maintaining your regular weekly donation level or even increasing it during these times. If you prefer to make an offertory donation through check, please mail it to parish office. The fact that this pandemic is occurring during our Lenten journey offers each of us important reminders about the role of faith, hope and charity in our daily lives and in whom we place our trust. I believe we are being called by Jesus Christ to a renewed sense of solidarity. This is a time for unity in prayer, not for isolation; it is a time for hope, not despair; it is a time for generosity, not self-focus. “This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another” (Jn 13:35). May God grant you peace during this difficult time and may He manifest His love and presence to you in abundant ways. Thank you for your continued support of our Parish. Sincerely yours in Christ, Father Francis Li
