Stewardship of Treasure
Sunday Offerings
Summertime, vacation time, time to travel, relax and enjoy the
sun. We all take some time off in the summer, but the
Church doesn’t. Our Parish Church is still open every day
for Mass. Our Sunday Mass schedule continues. The
air conditioning is on for our comfort during these hot, humid
days. The parish priest and staff continue to work during
the summer (although each gets some vacation time of their own)
to meet your needs and answer your questions. Therefore,
we ask you: please remember to send in your Sunday
Offering Envelope before or after your vacation. The bills
still have to be paid, even when we’re on vacation! Thank
you and God bless you for your continued generosity!

The history of the Diocese of Greensburg is intertwined with the
250-year history of Catholicism in Pennsylvania. The
diocese seeks to build upon the rich traditions of the past so
that the next 250 years can continue to be vibrant, productive,
and spiritually fulfilling. We are blessed with people of
faith and vision, who embrace Catholic truth, enrich our
communities, and make known the love of Christ throughout the
diocese. Joined together, hand in hand, we are called to grow,
lead, and share.
In
order to address the changing needs of the Catholic Church, its
parishioners, and all the people of our four counties, the
diocese has launched
Today’s Challenge ~ Tomorrow’s Hope, a $45 million capital
and endowment campaign. Based upon a comprehensive
strategic planning process and planning study, it is with great
conviction in God’s grace that the clergy and the many members
of Christ’s faithful across our diocese will lead this bold
effort and ensure its success.
While ongoing stewardship efforts are an important expression of
faith, there are times when extraordinary resources must be
brought to bear in order to further the goals of the ministry in
all the parishes. In the process, all who participate and are
touched by the fruits of this campaign will experience the
transformational power of God’s extraordinary love.
Today’s Challenge ~ Tomorrow’s Hope will provide much-needed
support for:
1. Our Parishes
2. Evangelization and Faith Formation
3. Our Catholic Schools
4. Ordained Ministry
5. Care for our Retired Priests
6. Lay Ecclesial Ministry
7. Catholic Charities
8. Diocesan Infrastructure
