In-pew Pledge Card

Back
The Gift of Hours in-pew pledge card is double sided and has a tear-off section. On the back side the parishioner fills out their commitment on the left and right side, then tears the card in half. The parishioner then takes the right side of the card with them. The QR code links to the Gift of Hours online commitment form.
Your Regional Director can organize the printing of the in-pew cards and ship them to your parish.
Poster
18x24 inch poster to be hung up a few weeks before the Gift of Hours Commitment weekend. Just let your Regional Director know how many you would like and they will place an order for you.

Whether you are making sacrificial donations, volunteering your time or attending weekly Mass at PARISH, your presence and participation are a blessing. Thank you for all you have given in the past! Your support allowed us continue to serve our community during even the most challenging times. Now, you can continue helping us move forward into the future by offering at least four hours to God each week. “The Gift of Four Hours” asks you to:
-
Pray – 1 hour in prayer, either all at once as part of Eucharistic Adoration or adding up all your daily prayers.
-
Serve – 1 hour of service using your talents as either a minister at Mass, a volunteer at church activities, or serving the community at a food bank, like Assisi House, or a thrift store, nursing home, etc.
-
Worship – 1 hour each week dedicated to Mass, where you arrive before the opening hymn and stay through the final blessing so as to benefit from the fullness of the Mass.
-
Give – 1 hour’s worth of wages added to your offertory contribution each week. Your financial gifts allow us to:
-
Maintain parish operations - keeping the lights on, having heating and cooling systems in place, keeping our buildings safe and clean, and more
-
Continue needed ministries in our community that help so many families
-
Thank you for making your commitment to PARISH!
El regalo de 4 horas - MUESTRA DE PUNTOS PARA HABLAR
Ya sea que esté haciendo donaciones de sacrificio, ofreciendo su tiempo como voluntario o asistiendo a la misa semanal en PARISH, su presencia y participación son una bendición. ¡Gracias por todo lo que habéis dado en el pasado! Su apoyo nos permitió continuar sirviendo a nuestra comunidad incluso durante los momentos más difíciles. Ahora, me gustaría tomarme unos minutos para compartir las formas en que puede ayudarnos a avanzar hacia el futuro.
A través del “El regalo de las cuatro horas”, considere en oración que cada semana debe ofrecer al menos cuatro horas a Dios:
-
Orar - 1 hora en oración, ya sea de una vez como parte de la Adoración Eucarística o sumando todas sus oraciones diarias.
-
Servir - 1 hora de servicio usando sus talentos como ministro en la misa, voluntario en las actividades de la iglesia o sirviendo a la comunidad en un banco de alimentos, como Assisi House, una tienda de segunda mano, un hogar de ancianos, etc.
-
Celebrar - 1 hora por semana dedicada a la Misa, donde llega antes del himno de apertura y permanece durante la bendición final para beneficiarse de la plenitud de la Misa.
-
Dar: el valor de 1 hora de salario agregado a su contribución al ofertorio cada semana. Sus donaciones financieras nos permiten:
-
Mantener las operaciones de la parroquia: mantener las luces encendidas, tener sistemas de calefacción y refrigeración en su lugar, mantener nuestros edificios seguros y limpios, y más.
-
Continuar con los ministerios necesarios en nuestra comunidad que ayudan a tantas familias
-
¡Gracias por comprometerse con PARISH!
