A Message From Father Alan
Dear Pelican Valley ACC,
We are observing STEWARDSHIP COMMITMENT SUNDAY this weekend. At Our Lady of Victory, please bring your commitment cards with you to Mass this weekend or send to the office or sign up online! At all of our parishes, we take this time to reflect on your commitment to our faith community.
As it is sometimes put, if all the evidence was considered, could a prosecutor find you guilty of being an active Catholic Christian?! What is the talent, the special gift that you are sharing with your faith family? How much time and attention do you devote to nurturing your faith and relationship with God? Finally, when you look at your checkbook (or online financial information!), how generous have you been with the gift of your treasure to the Church and various charities? NOW IS THE TIME to renew ourselves in all of these areas, and please know how much the gift and witness of your faith means to all of us in our Pelican Valley Area Catholic Community.
Together we offer a witness as Pilgrims of Hope to the world around us. May God bless you abundantly both now and in eternity!
Fr. Alan
