FLOWERS IN THE SANCTUARY Offertory Envelopes: We encourage the use of offertory Week of January 24th envelopes. Wrap up your gift for Jesus each week. J. L. & Jeanette Franchebois NOTE: Norma Currier & Florine Guidry Please call the rectory to request a 2020 Lisa Comeaux contribution statement if needed for tax purposes. PLEASE CONSIDER ON-LINE GIVING Visit our website and click on “ON LINE GIVING” and follow the instructions. It’s that easy! OR CONSIDER USING OFFERTORY ENVELOPES Why should I use offertory envelopes? Because in a very materialistic world, followers of Jesus get distracted, so we need reminders. Envelopes help us organize and carefully think out our manner of giving to the Lord. Without envelopes, we tend to reach into our pockets at the last minute to pull out left-overs, what we do not really need. Thus, we easily end up giving to a waiter at a restaurant (the 15 to 20% tip), more than we give to the Lord each week. When something is special and important, we usually wrap the gift up. Using envelopes helps us “wrap up” our gift for Jesus each week, making it more beautiful and meaningful. Call the Parish Office to receive offertory envelopes. PARISH/DIOCESAN ANNOUNCEMENTS CONFESSIONS are held each Saturday from 10am to 11am in Church. This is due to Covid social distanc- ing restrictions which would make confession lines impossible to manage before Masses.
