THANK YOU for your generous Easter Sunday offerings. We must join our monetary sacrifices to the sacrifices of our prayers for our Community to flourish in grace and mercy.
HOW TO CONTRIBUTE Since our new Community here at St. Thomas’ will not be a legal entity, we will need to have our finances run through the books of St. Kateri Parish. Therefore, checks should be made payable to “St. Kateri Tekakwitha-Latin Mass Community” OR for short, “SKT-LMC”. Contributions can be placed in the blue envelopes OR loose in the collection baskets. Contributions deposited in envelopes from neighboring parishes will be returned to those home parishes and will not be credited to SKT-LMC. SKT-LMC envelopes deposited in neighboring parish collections will be returned and credited to us.
TO REGISTER with our Community, use the census forms found at the entrance door tables. Fill out the form and on the top write in clear letters: “LMC”. Place form in the collection basket. Welcome!
LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS
If anyone is interested in volunteering, please email dflanigen@yahoo.com or call 467-8747. Some of the opportunities include church cleaning, parish center cleaning, outdoor spring clean up (when the weather breaks), and program/bulletin stapling and folding. If we get enough volunteers for church cleaning, we hope to rotate teams.
CASE TRAINING The Diocese of Rochester requires volunteers who work with children, youth or vulnerable adults to participate in Creating a Safe Environment (CASE) training. As our community grows, our volunteers will need this training. If you need to be trained or have any questions, call SKT-LMC at 484-1810 or email lmcommunity3@gmail.com .
