    Pastor Letter – “Love God, Make Disciples, through Mary”

      Dear Parishioners,

      The last several weeks have been exciting and eventful for us at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church. I am deeply humbled and sincerely grateful that, even in these challenging times, many parishioners have spoken favorably about the “Love God, Make Disciples, through Mary” Program and have returned their Commitment Cards.

      In my conversations, I have been emphasizing both the needs of the parish and the need we each have to give of ourselves. The offertory is one reflection of the relationship that parishioners have with God and their parish. At times like these, we must come together as a community to ensure that our parish continues to be healthy and thriving.

      As a registered parishioner at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, I ask that you please demonstrate your support by completing and submitting your Commitment Card to the church. If you are able, I encourage you to become consistent in your gifts to the church through the regular use of the offering envelopes or through electronic giving. Electronic giving is the preferred, easy, safe and secure way to give to our parish. To schedule a recurring electronic gift directly from your bank account or credit card, please visit our website at www.ihmcfo.org and follow the instructions. We are grateful to all parishioners for using this means to support our parish.

      A Summary Report highlighting the results of the “Love God, Make Disciples, through Mary” Program will be mailed in the next few weeks, and I am sure you would want your commitment accounted for in the overall numbers. Please know all commitments are kept confidential and are only used for recording purposes to plan for our financial future.

      Thank you for your participation and for all that you do to support the works of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church. May the Lord Jesus continue to bless you and keep you close to His heart.

      Sincerely in Christ,
      Rev. James E. Singler
