GRAND
ANNUAL COLLECTION 2022
Goal: $170,000 |
Total Received: $ 70,367
Our Grand Annual Collection is now underway. Funds from
this collection help to pay our weekly bills. Your Grand Annual envelopes
may be placed in the collections baskets or mailed directly to the rectory
throughout the year. Each family is asked to contribute $400. However,
what one gives is your choice and no one should give beyond their means.
Envelopes are on the ushers’ tables. Your generosity is greatly
appreciated.

Read this Letter from Fr. Mario Concerning the 2022 Grand Annual Collection
Are you aware that our parish
participated in the worldwide Synod questionnaire? Our
parish is using this feedback from our parishioners to begin making
positive changes. One particular
statement from the Synod provided feedback that can impact Saint Christine’s
Parish.
“There is nothing being done to inspire
new people to join the parish and others to come back.”
We can help impact this but we need input from you. PLEASE consider being
a part of the solution with one simple reply to the following questions.
1. What is the best time
and day of the week to meet?
2. What activities (service,
prayer and social) motivates you to participate and encourage others to
join as well?
Please email your reply and any other suggestions to Jeanne Dominick at
mjsdmed@aol.com or
Norm Shacochis at normshac@verizon.net. If you have any questions, please
call Jeanne at 781-267-4511. or Norm Shacochis at normshac@verizon.net.
If you have any questions, please call Jeanne at 781-267-4511.
