Dear Parents,
I hope you are rounding out the summer well! I will begin ordinary communication for our Religious Education Program next week and send regular reminders about our first class on
Sunday, September 8, 2019 at 9:00am.
In the mean time, I am asking that you help us out at Saint Andrew. We are proud of the many ministries that serve our community -- our weekly and daily celebrations of Mass, weddings, Baptisms, Confessions, our religious education program, our outreach to the homebound and sick, our spiritual support, prayer, and faith enrichment, our efforts to end hunger in our city, our ministry to our sister parish in Uganda, and so much more.
It doesn't happen without the ongoing support of so many people. We are grateful to you and to everyone who makes Saint Andrew such a wonderful place.
To make that happen, we do need financial support and our expenses are constant throughout the year. Due to vacations, summer homes, and conferences, the summer is the time we experience a dip in our financial support which is why our Parish Stewardship Commission has chosen this week to be
E-Giving Prime Week.
Our goal is to sign up 25 new subscribers to regular (monthly or weekly) electronic giving this week. If you don't already give regularly through electronic giving, could you start this week? It is not the amount that we are asking for, it is the regularity of giving through this automatic means.
You can sign up by clicking on the button below, or by

As a "thank you" for signing up this week, a donor has offered a "thank you" gift of a $10 gift certificate to Regal Cinema Movie Theaters if done before August 18, 2019. You can treat yourself to the latest blockbuster as you make the heroic effort to support your parish community.
Please consider this commitment and help us fulfill our goal this week!
Thank you now and always for your support!
God bless!
