HOLY CROSS CATHOLIC CHURCH July 2, 2017 THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Julio 2, 2017
A heartfelt “Thank You” to all who braved the weather to attend our Groundbreaking Cere-mony. Our 4 phase, 5 year revitalization plan has begun! We will have a new vestibule, façade and bell tower by summer and will begin our 12000 Sq Ft expansion at that time.
We ask you to consider making a strong commitment to Holy Cross and make a generous pledge to meet our initial financing goal of $2.5 million. This is your church home, we need to expand and we must all do our share now. Our campaign is structured over three years, or 36 months, or 156 weeks. Just ten dollars a week for the Lord is a pledge of $1,560; twenty dollars a week is $3,120. Your donation makes a difference! Pledge now; Build now! We are still about $110,000 from that initial milestone. Our current total is cash and pledges of $2,391,266 with participation of over 400 registered families.
We thank you very much for your faith in God and this parish. If you haven’t pledged, we will be calling to ask for your pledge. If you would rather not receive the call, please go online at www.holycrosscc.org/GIFT and follow the links to the GIFT Campaign to make a pledge. Donations can be placed in the GIFT Campaign envelops in the pews and placed in the collection basket. God Bless You.
Give In Faith Today for Our Future
Un agradecimiento de todo corazón a todos los que a pesar de mal tiempo, asistieron a nues-tra Ceremonia de Inicio de Construcción. ¡Nuesnues-tra fase 4 del plan de rehabilitación de 5 años ha comenzado! Tendremos un vestíbulo, una fachada nueva y una torre para campana para el verano, y en ese tiempo se comenzará con la expansión de 12000 pies cuadrados.
Lo animamos a que considere hacer un valioso compromiso con Holy Cross haciendo su ge-nerosa promesa para lograr nuestra meta inicial de $2.5 millones. Esta es su iglesia, necesita-mos ampliar nuestras facilidades y cada uno de nosotros necesitanecesita-mos poner de nuestra parte. Nuestra campaña esta estructurada en tres años, o 36 meses, o 156 semanas. Sólo $10 a la se-mana hacen una promesa de $1,560; $20 a la sese-mana es $3,120. ¡Sus donaciones hacen la di-ferencia! ¡Haga su promesa ahora! ¡Construyamos ahora!
Todavía necesitamos como $110,000 para nuestra meta inicial. Nuestro total actual de efectivo y promesas es de $2,391,266 con la participación de más de 400 registradas.
Queremos agradecerles grandemente su fe a Dios y a esta parroquia. Si usted no ha hecho su promesa, nosotros lo estaremos llamando para pedirle su apoyo. Si usted prefiere que no lo llamen, por favor vaya a www.holycrosscc.org/GIFT y siga el link a GIFT Campaign para hacer su promesa. Usted puede hacer sus donaciones usando los sobres para la Campaña que están en las bancas de la iglesia y depositarlos en la canasta de la colecta. Que Dios los ben-diga.
