I wish to once again express my deep gratitude to all parishioners who are supporting our parish financially and those who have been very generous in making their Bishop’s Annual Appeal pledges. In these financially stressful times it is a tribute to all who are keeping us afloat, both in the parish and diocese. I am very encouraged.  

We have received a message from the diocese on the importance and necessity for all our parishes to support and enforce the governor’s mandate on wearing a mask to churches. We have been told we are to “take the steps necessary to ensure the fullest possible compliance.” Happily, we have done that and we have not had a problem here. 

   

We continue to hold in prayer all those in various schools: students, teachers, administrators, staff, and families. It is a big challenge to us all. 

May God help us all.

God bless,

Msgr Enke

The Knights of Columbus would like to thank the parishioners of St. Edward's for helping them raise over $1400 for the developmentally disabled in Licking County. These are people who were not born with the same gifts so many of us take for granted. 

Dear Member(s) of St. Edward Church,

You will recall that I sent a letter to you in July announcing that our parish again has a wonderful opportunity in this year’s Bishop’s Annual Appeal to retire another $100,000 of our building debt.  We are currently at $131,000.00.  We now press on to our total goal of $200,000, which enables us to have some breathing room in our yearly parish operating expenses. That’s where you come in. I ask you to make a pledge today at any level that is possible for you.

We have asked new households (since the original building campaign) to consider a $1200 pledge and veteran parishioners to consider a $500 pledge. These pledges can be made over 10 months.  That means whatever you are able to do in this challenging economic time will be most helpful.

Please don’t toss aside this enclosed pledge envelope.  Rather use it to make a pledge that will help us retire our debt and position us for the future needs of our parish.

I sincerely appreciate whatever you do for this parish that together we can build up the Kingdom of God in this time and place.

May God and good St. Edward bless you.

Msgr Paul P. Enke

Pastor

p.s. If it is impossible for you to make even the smallest gift, I hope you will open your heart to serve God’s work here in other ways and to pray for the success of the Appeal in our parish and diocese.

We are so blessed to have such faithful and supportive parishioners. Thank you for your continued support of our pairsh during this time.

Contributions and envelopes can be placed in the basket at the entrance to church at Mass. Or you can mail to or drop off your offertory at the Parish office.

God bless you.
