You Are God’s Hands and Feet To The World.

God doesn’t need our money. What he’s truly after is us. Yet, how we use money is a very accurate indicator of where our heart is and what we value. Jesus said, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21). Giving is an act of worship and an act of commitment; to the community of believers, and those in need.

===== 2024 Annual Catholic Appeal

 
Our parish is conducting our campaign for the Annual Catholic Appeal. Please remember that the Annual Catholic Appeal is much different than a one-time special collection. It is a pledge campaign where you can make a gift payable in installments. The new Annual Catholic Appeal theme, “Together at the table,” is an important theme as we prayerfully consider our support for the Appeal but also important for embracing the life that the Lord wants us to live.
Each pledge makes a difference! All parish communities participate in the campaign and the gifts of many enable our parishes, schools and ministries to deliver needed services. Thank you for your prayerful consideration and generous response. 
 
To make your gift, you can complete the mail-in giving envelope available at church or make a gift online at
https://www.annualcatholicappeal.com.

===== Sunday Stewardship

“As you go, make this proclamation:
‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’”
-Matthew 10:7
 
Many of us take our lives for granted. We think we have plenty of time to “repent.” Maybe we should live with a little more urgency in making things right with God. This is the difference in living our discipleship out of obligation versus out of love.
Obligation implies we do the minimum required. Love implies we want a relationship. God wants us to be with Him in Heaven forever, but He also wants to be in relationship with us right now, while we are on earth. Start this second – invite the Lord into your heart.

Thank you!

===== Improvement Fund Report

WE DID IT! WE REACHED OUR PLEDGE GOAL!

 
A huge thank you to all parishioners who have fulfilled/or are in the process of fulfilling their pledges to the Improvement Fund. We want every parishioner to know that we have opened a separate account at our local bank in which we are keeping all Improvement Fund donations.  This money is not used for general parish expenses and is strictly used for any building/equipment repairs that we have not budgeted for.
If you have not pledged yet or you would like to continue contributing to this fund, please use your blue Improvement Fund envelopes or Give Central. We can build this
account up for any future repairs.
 
Thank you for all that you do for our Transfiguration Community!  With your generous donations these are the projects we have completed and paid for:
   New Church Boiler $43,965
   School Elevator Repair $38,023
   New Hymnals $13,125
   OWC Chimney Repair $5,000
   Church Pumps Repair $4,665
             Total = $104,778
 
The total donations/pledges received since the campaign began in March 2023 is $102,236.  The total due from parishioners still fulfilling their pledges is $11,723.  The total due from 30 parishioners who filled out a pledge card and have not made a payment is $3,585.  Hoping we can collect this additional $15,308 from our initial pledge drive.
