Contribution Envelopes ~ Did You Know . . . .

Our Contribution Envelopes are processed through a third party who mail out the envelopes directly to you. We have seen over the past 6 months some issues with the process; mostly due to the problems at the post-office level. We encourage anyone who uses envelopes to use a plain envelope should your envelopes be delayed. Just put your name and address on it. We can look up your information and make sure you get credit for your generosity or get credit for coming to Mass. Throughout the year, we may find some parishioners not using their envelopes for two years or longer. (Which can be for a host of reasons, and that’s ok!). In those instances, we will inactivate their envelopes, saving on postage and helping the environment by not wasting paper. Should you find that this is the case, and you want your envelopes reinstated, just reach out the parish office and we will get you back on the mailing.
