Queridos amigos,
Humildemente solicitamos que continúen siendo buenos administradores apoyando financieramente a nuestra parroquia para que podamos mantenernos al día con nuestras cuentas y responsabilidades de nómina. Sé que este desastre los ha puesto financieramente a algunos de ustedes y nunca les pediré que den lo que necesitan, pero por favor sigan haciendo lo que puedan cuando puedan.
Las contribuciones pueden llevarse a la oficina parroquial, enviarse por correo o puede optar por donaciones en línea. GRACIAS
