Stewardship

March 2015

Dear friends:

Our parish communities stand as a tribute to the many caring people who have contributed to their life and well-being. It takes time, talent and treasure to run an effective caring parish. We are grateful for the many ways you support and care for our community of faith.

One great way to add your support and pay tribute to someone that you care about is through a memorial or tribute gift. These gifts can be can be made directly to the parish or to one of two funds that have been designed by our Stewardship committee in honor of the legacies of our two pastors who died this past year. These funds will be established for each of our churches.

The Father James Doyle Memorial Fund will be used to attend to the capital improvements for our three churches. As a pastor, Father Doyle instilled amongst his parishioners the importance of investing in the physical plant of the parish.

The Father Lawrence Gross Memorial Fund will help provide ministry and outreach services to our parish community. Father Gross showed us his love every day by his actions.

Both are so vital to the health and well-being of our spiritual community.

Gifts can be made in memory or tribute of a friend, relative, or simply to honor the legacy of Father Doyle and Father Gross. Checks should be made to any of our three parishes and can be sent to the Cluster Main Office at 96 Prospect St, Avon, NY 14414. (If you would like it designated to a particular church, please indicate on your check.)

The address of the person(s) being remembered should be included, so we can send an acknowledgement of the gift to the family. For more information, please contact the Main Office at 585-226-2100 or our website saintagnespaulrose.org.

Thank you for helping our parishes to be beautiful communities of God’s presence, love and teaching.
