Transfiguration Parish is a community of Christian believers faithful to our Catholic tradition, and a pilgrim people entrusted to the Carmelite Friars. Through our participation in public worship we are nourished by the Word and Body of the Lord. We are called to share what we have received by evangelization and by good works to those in need.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2021: Because of the icy conditions early in the morning, the parish will open at 8:30am for the 9:00am Mass. The 7:15am Mass will be celebrated online only. Please keep safe. God bless.
In 2 Corinthians 5:20, St. Paul reminds us: "So we are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God."
As Christians, our practical way of living as representatives of Jesus in this world can be summed up Jesus' teaching called "The Beatitudes," which are found in Matthew chapter 5, especially in verses 3-12. They are the following:
How have we done so far in living out the beatitudes in our lives? And how can we use this Lent to live them more concretely and become true ambassadors for Christ to all those to whom we are sent?
The Christmas season is the time for giving and for reaching out to those in need. This year, we ask you to please consider helping out the parish in our need.
RAISING THE ROOFS:
This year, we learned that roofs of both the school and the church need replacing, as illustrated by the massive leaks we have in the parish. The current estimate for the work is $300,000.
One of our parishioners has challenged 300 members of our parish and school family to give $1000 each, after which he will also increase his donation. Please help us to reach our goal.
To help us out, please sign up an give to our Renew + Rebuild campaign.
PAYING THE BILLS:
We ask you to consider committing to a weekly donation to help us out. The easiest way to give is through our online giving website, WeShare. You can give to the parish easily, and the website keeps track of your contributions so you can claim them on your taxes.
A $20 weekly donation, for example, would provide the parish with a year's contribution of $1040 to cover the bills.
The pandemic caused us to lose a large part of our income and has left us unable to pay our bills. Throughout the lockdown until now, we have remained open as a quiet sanctuary from all of the problems outside. We continue to offer spiritual support through our celebration of the sacraments, online transmission of the masses, religious formation, preparation of couples for marriage, and availability for personal counsel.
In addition, we also take care of the facilities and part of the utilities and maintenance of Transfiguration School.
Please help us to continue to do God's work for our community.
