Tax Letters

Please remember that, as we did last year, we will not be mailing out tax letters in bulk. If you have created a GiveCentral account and have been giving your offerings online, you can conveniently print a letter listing all your donations to our Parish from your account page. Please note that donations to the Annual Catholic Appeal, or other non-Parish causes, are printed on separate letters and can be generated by selecting those “locations” when asked for. If you have continued to give, or have previously given, your donations via the weekly/monthly envelopes, these donations may not appear on your GiveCentral tax letter. This is a situation that we are actively working to rectify. Please contact the Rectory Office to have us take a manual reading of your cash and check donations and we will send you a letter indicating these amounts. We thank everyone dearly for the sacrifices youmade this past year to keep our Church alive during these dark times. Together we can keep our Church as a Tower of Faith and Light of Hope!

Mass Intentions Available

Please note that many weekday, and several Sunday, Mass intentions are still available for 2021. In addition to being a financial support to the Parish, taking a Mass intention presents great graces to both the intended and yourself. Consider taking an intention for a loved one, a friend, in honor of a Saint, the Souls in Purgatory, or for the multitude of causes that need our prayers.
