Dear Parish Community-

In recent weeks, we have spoken about our To Jesus, Through Mary Program. Our parish has so much to offer to those in the Waco community. We are a beacon of hope for those in need, for those suffering, and for those who are searching and in need of our prayers and assistance. We also accompany our parish family through the administration of the sacraments, the celebration of Mass, and our ministries. We are so blessed to be able to serve so many in our parish and community!

We are called by God to advance the mission of the Church and to build up God’s Kingdom here in Waco. There are so many more people who need our assistance. There is so much more work to be done. The reality is that we will always need resources to do God’s work. Until the needy are clothed, the hungry are fed, and the Gospel is spread to the ends of the earth, we will need resources.

Many of you have already submitted your Commitment Card to the parish and have committed your offertory support to continue to advance our parish mission. Thank you! At the same time, many of you have not yet submitted your Commitment Card. Our goal through this initiative is 100% participation from our parish community. Please turn in your Commitment Card this week, if you have not already done so. I invite you to pray for our parish and become involved in the life of our parish by joining a ministry to serve those in need. St. Mary Church of the Assumption is a wonderful parish because of YOU and what each one of you make of it!

I thank you for your generosity, and I am humbled by your sacrifice. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

May the Lord continue to bless us and the work we are doing!
