Living Simply Challenge
 
UPDATE: (8/8/24)
 
We hope you are taking up Gandhi's challenge of "Living simply so others may simply live", and setting aside money to pay forward to a worthy cause. This can be a great opportunity to be, as Fr. Tim said in a recent homily, the Bread of Life for another person. We have heard from a few parishioners who wanted to share their plans. One has chosen to add an additional amount to the tips she provided to servers as a way to directly impact the people who could   benefit from the bonus.  Another person is abstaining from some (but not all!) alcoholic drinks when dining out, and setting aside the money into his savings account, to be given at the end of the summer to a worthy cause to be determined later.
 
If you have a story to share about your approach to the Living Simply Challenge, please share it with us. There are a few options:
1..  email your story to [email protected]
2.. create a handwritten copy of your story (artwork is optional).  These can be dropped off in the commons in the mail box next to the Parish office door.   
 
This might be a great option for any youth participating in the challenge.
 
Please note in your submission how you would like to be identified  - full name, first name only, initials only, anonymous.
 
We will post the stories this fall on the website, in the bulletin and in the Commons.  We are looking forward to hearing from you!  Remember, no amount is too small to pay forward!
