| THE SIZE AND ANNUAL COSTS OF OPERATING THE PARISH |
There are six hundred to possibly nine hundred Catholic households in the Spring Hill - Thompson Station area. And with the projected number of house permits - and those to be issued - the number will increase in the next few years, as the economy recovers, and more move into the area.
There are a number of Catholics in the area who are presently not attending any parish, and a number who are irregular. A number of those families presently not attending any parish will began to attend, and a number of irregular families will become more regular and active in their Catholic life and practice, when a parish is in full operation in the area.
To began to meet the needs as quickly as possible we are developing the temporary facilities. They will serve us until we are able to have land and permanent facilities. The start up on that level will be high just as the start up of the parish presently is high.
Spread out over hundreds of families supporting the parish according to each one's means and resources, and a few generous donors who can make larger gifts to the parish, the material needs of the parish can be met. Meeting the material needs helps to meet the needs we have for the infinite- unlimited spiritual riches the Lord offers and confers on His people. No price can be put on a soul! No price can ever come near the costs of our salvation in Christ JesusJ offer of himself! Besides the material financial support of the parish many will contribute to the spiritual and corporal works of-mercy with their time and gifts of the Holy Spirit. |

To meet the operating needs, we need in the offertory collection and other gifts each week $10,600. Special thanks to all who have begun to contribute and those who will begin. Your prayers and gifts are needed and appreciated!
Besides our operating costs, we need to be raising funds for land and for permanent facilities. Land costs could be up to two million dollars. Before building a permanent church the needed facilities would costs three or four million dollars or more. A permaner church would be in the range of ten to twelve million dollars. We need some who are able to make some substantial donations!
This is the Lord's work! He wills and wants it because of His great love and mercy. He gives us the means to participate in His works. We pray that all of us will listen and respond to the Lord's inspirations and graces to support the parish over the years. Generations to come will benefit from this parish as we all have benefited from parishes that have served for generations. Some can place the parish in their will. Others may want to have the joy of giving before death. Most will give as they have along the way. May the Lord bless the work! |
