Parish Support Program
Newsletter #2
November 7-8
How can you participate?
Many parishioners understand the need for everyone’s participation in the Parish Support Program. For
Incarnation Parish, participation means different things to different people, such as:
•
Committing to using our envelope system for your weekly donations to the parish
•
Increasing your weekly commitment to Incarnation (see the suggested amounts)
Each of us is well aware of the expenses involved in financing our own households. The same is true of our
parish, which is operating with a large deficit. We can only meet our daily expenses if we have increased
income.
Whatever you decide to commit, your gift should have some relationship to how you live and be
proportionate to your ability. We ask that you carefully read the brochure you received at home and
prayerfully consider what you will be able to commit.
Our goal is reach an increase so we can to meet our day-to-day expenses.

Boletín #2
7-8 de Noviembre
¿Cómo puede participar?
Muchos feligreses comprenden la necesidad de la participación del todo del mundo en el Programa de Apoyo
Parroquial. Para la Iglesia de la Encarnación, participación significa distintas cosas a distintas personas, como:
• Haciendo un compromiso con usar el sistema de sobres para sus donaciones semanales a la parroquia
•
Aumentando su compromiso semanal a la Encarnación (vea las contribuciones sugeridas)
Cada uno de nosotros es consciente de los gastos de la financiación de nuestros propios hogares. Lo mismo es
cierto de nuestra parroquia, que está operando con un gran déficit. Sólo podemos cumplir con nuestros gastos
diarios si se han aumentado los ingresos.
Cualquier lo que decida cometer, su regalo debe tener alguna relación con cómo se vive y ser proporcionales a
su capacidad. Le pedimos que lea cuidadosamente el folleto que ha recibido por el correo y en oración,
considere lo que será capaz de cometer.
Nuestra meta es llegar a un aumento en el que podemos cumplir con nuestros gastos cotidianos.
