A Note from Our Pastor... Stewardship - Time, Talent and Treasure

 
From the beginning of March 2020 through and including today, our lives have changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The past ten months have been a time of uncertainty and stress for everyone. I want to thank you for the priority that the Saints Simon and Jude Parish Family has made and continues in its support. 

We are a parish that has always done its best to help others especially during troubled times. The action of those who have been able help others in need has made a real difference. Whatever the amount of your financial support, it is appreciated.  May God bless your financial sacrifice.
 
The financial effects of COVID-19 has had an impact on all of our Parish Family. The difference of contributions during the ten months of March 2020 thru December 31, 2020 compared to the same months in 2019:

                 2019 - $1,063,604       2020 - $942,029

                               -$121,575 (-11.4%)

I appreciate your support of our Parish to the best of your financial ability and know that whatever amount you are able to contribute is greatly appreciated.
