Dear friends,

This weekend we finally begin the “public phase” of REBUILD, REFRESH, RENEW --- the fund-raising campaign that will pay for the renovation of our church interior, as well as provide total handicap accessibility, resealed and well-lit parking lots, better outside hospitality spaces, improved school technology and office and security provisions … plus a significant alms for the poor.

This is a major historic event at St. Margaret Mary’s that will provide spaces for a vibrant Catholic presence here for decades.

Some have already been contacted. If you were contacted earlier, it was because you had exhibited some major financial generosity to the parish in the past … or because computer search engines from the fundraising consultants (CSS) identified you as a person with a big house or business or significant wealth. Most responded generously. Some didn’t --- either because our contact information was inaccurate or they just felt they needed to hold on to their money.

But today the campaign opens to everybody.

I hope you give a respectful listen to what’s presented, and respond with a sacrificial pledge. If you’re a person who has been abundantly blessed in the wealth department, you really ought to consider giving well above what’s asked. If you have trouble making ends meet, you needn’t feel ashamed of giving a widow’s mite, since God honors sacrifice in all forms if it’s really a sacrifice.

Peace, All Good! Fr. Mike

PS In the weeks leading up to Christmas we shall be hosting REBUILD REFRESH RENEW phonathons. Volunteers are needed (with your cell phone) for December 5, 7, 11, 13, and 21. If you are available for any of these dates please come to the parish office at 5:30 pm for an orientation, pizza and fun!

Una nota del Administrador... Queridos amigos,

Este fin de semana finalmente comenzamos la " fase pública" de RECONSTRUIR, RESTAURAR, RENOVAR --- la cam- paña de recaudación de fondos que costeará la renovación del interior de nuestra iglesia, proporcionará accesibilidad total para discapacitados, resellar el estacionamiento y buena iluminación, mejores espacios de hospitalidad, mejorar la tecnología de la escuela, provisiones de oficina y seguridad ... más una limosna significativa para los pobres. Este es un gran evento histórico muy importante en Santa Margarita Maria que proporcionará mejor espacio para una Presencia dinámica católica por varias décadas.

Algunos ya han sido contactados. Si a usted lo contactaron antes, fue porque mostró alguna gran generosidad financiera a la pa- rroquia en el pasado ... o porque en la búsqueda a través de la computadora de los consultores de recaudación de fondos (CSS) lo identificaron como una persona con una gran casa, negocio o riqueza significativa. La mayoría respondió generosamente. Algu- nos no --- ya sea porque nuestra información de contacto era inexacta o simplemente sentían que prefieren mantener su dinero. Pero hoy la campaña será abierta para todos.

Espero que escuchen con respeto lo que se presenta y respondan con sacrificio a una promesa. Si eres una persona que ha sido abundantemente bendecida en el area financiera, realmente debería considerar dar mucho más de lo que se le pide. Si tiene pro- blemas para hacer una donacion generosa, no es necesario que se sienta avergonzado de dar una pequeña contribución como la viuda, ya que Dios honra el sacrificio de todas formas, si este es realmente un sacrificio. Paz, todo bien! P. Mike PD. En las semanas previas a la Navidad, seremos anfitriones de RECONSTRUIR RESTAURAR RENOVAR phonathons. Se necesitan voluntarios (con su teléfono celular) para el 5, 7, 11, 13 y 21 de Diciembre. Si está disponible para cualquiera de estas fechas, vaya a la oficina parroquial a las 5:30 p.m. para una orientación, pizza y diversión! Page Four St. Margaret Mary December 3, 2017

Mike and Miguel Gaitan,

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank the two of you and the rest of your parishioners for the huge part St. Margaret Mary's Church played in the 11th Annual Community Thanksgiving dinner. In terms of food, clothing and the sizeable financial donation, as well as all your church members that participated the day of the dinner.

We managed with God's grace and everyone's help to serve 519 dinners. This consisted of 26 turkeys, four hams and about 40 to 50 pies. I was making a joke when I said that your folks didn't start getting busy 'til Father Mike got there, but 400 dinners were served between 10:00 and 4:30, so you were really busy, and I have to take it back.

The clothing drive was also a major success. In addition to the clothes that were sorted the Saturday prior to the meal, they continued to come in right up to and including the day of the dinner itself. We plan on donating the bulk remaining to Three Way Thrift or one of the other local charities.

Once again, my personal thanks for your help and participation. I hope look forward to working together again next year.

Yours in Christ, Dan Bentley Chino Methodist Church
