Annual Diocesan Appeal
Today is Good Shepherd Sunday. Jesus is the Good Shepherd. But what does that mean?
Shepherds were a common sight in His day. A person paid as little as the usual shepherd had little incentive to risk his life to protect someone else’s livestock. Jesus makes it clear; He is not in the shepherding business for a paycheck. He is in it because He loves His Father. He lays down His life for His sheep.
Like sheep, we all need someone to follow who we can trust. When worldly leaders lead us astray, it is disheartening. Jesus does not do that. The peace of knowing that we are in the hands of the Good Shepherd, is enduring. Please support our Annual Diocesan Appeal, so that we can help more people find the same enduring peace in the Good Shepherd’s fold. God will reward you.
For more information about the work of the appeal or to make a gift online, please visit www.doy.org. Help us reach our parish goal of $45,100.00. As of April 11, 26% of parish families (131) have already responded pledging $33,550.00 (74.39%.) On behalf of Bishop Bonnar and all who will be served by the Annual Diocesan Appeal – THANK YOU!
Offering Envelopes
Boxed sets of offertory envelopes are ready for pickup here at St. William. Envelope boxes were available November-January in the vestibule – If you missed the window of opportunity to pick up your box please call the parish office.
Bulletin Deadlines
Beginning January 7, the bulletin will now be printed by LPi and shipped to the church weekly. As a result the deadline for submitting materials to the bulletin will change. The new deadline for submitting materials will now be Thursday at 12:00 noon the week before the material is to be printed. For example, if you want something printed in the January 7 bulletin, it must be turned in to the office no later than December 28 or if you want something in the January 14 bulletin the deadline is January 4 (that is a full 10 days!) If you have any questions, please call the parish office.
