Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time

Fr. Jim's Jots

We are having a 2020 Jazz Festival, Saturday August 29th, on Zoom!  The link is the same as our Sunday Mass.  In the past, the Jazz Festival has been an all-hands-on-deck event, with everyone involved.  This year's Virtual Jazz Festival is the effort of Connie Hom, Cecilia Hull, Janet Stern, George Strother, Larry Williford, and Karen Yesolitis!

How do you get involved?  We need you to visit our website on Saturday, August 29th from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and enjoy some great jazz music!  Then, please donate through our online giving portal at stelizcc.org, click on "online giving".  You can also click the gray button below to donate at any time.

Your help is needed, as the Jazz Festival is our only annual fundraiser and it accounts for about 20% of our parish income.  The last few weeks have brought a great financial challenge with the large amount of rain that flooded the rectory basement.  In the rectory/office basement, the boiler, hot water tank, and de-humidifier were damaged and they all need to be replaced.  When the roof leaked, it caused part of an office ceiling to fall in.  The basement flood also caused the food in the pantry to be underwater and to be lost.  HELP!

Thanks in advance for your prayers and generosity,

Blessings and love,

Fr. Jim Arsenault
