MONTHLY OFFERING ENVELOPES: Our office recently received the following email from The Church-Budget Envelope and Mailing Company who supplies bi-monthly contribution envelopes to our parish families. "Greetings from The Church-Budget Envelope and Mailing Company, Some of you may be aware of delays in the offering envelope mailings over the past couple of months. Due to supply chain and the inability to add employees at the rate necessary, it has created a slow draw on production and shipping. Recently, both of those issues have been resolved. However, the 'catchup' would jeopardize long term delivery. In order to get back to expected levels of timely deliveries, we are forced to suspend the production of the remaining supply of your February envelopes. The offering envelopes will resume and be delivered by the first Sunday in March. Never in our company’s history have we had to skip scheduled mailings and we are doing all we can to make sure this never happens again. We deeply apologize for this necessary course of action and the inconvenience this has caused you and your church family. We appreciate your understanding. The Church-Budget Envelope and Mailing Company Management Team." Please use an envelope with your name on it for February contributions if you don’t receive your envelopes from the company. We have all envelope numbers on file, so don’t worry if you don’t know yours. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
