St. John the Baptist

From The Pastor

We need your help! Нам потрібна ваша допомога!

We still have several church envelope boxes left. Here is how you can help:
1. Please make sure to pick up your envelopes today.
2. If you see someone’s envelopes remind them to get them or pick them up and hand off to that individual.
3. If you see envelopes left for family, friend, or neighbors, grab them, and deliver or hand off to them.
Mailing cost have gone up and it cost the parish $6.00 to mail just one box out. If you do need envelopes mailed to you (at cost) or need to pick them up on a Tuesday during business hours, please contact the rectory staff on Tuesday’s at 315-478-5109 to make arrangements.

У нас ще залишилось кілька коробочок з церковними конвертами. Ось як ви можете допомогти:
1. Будь ласка, не забудьте забрати свої конверти сьогодні.
2. Якщо ви бачите, чиїсь конверти нагадуйте їм взяти їх або просимо забрати та передати цій особі.
3. Якщо ви бачите конверти, залишені для родини, друга чи сусідів, візьміть їх і передайте їм.
Вартість доставки зросла, і щоб надіслати поштою лише одну коробку коштує $6.00. Якщо бажаєте щоб вам надіслати вам поштою (за вартістю поштового кошту), або ви можете забрати їх у вівторок у робочий час, будь ласка, зв’яжіться з працівниками офісу у вівторок за номером 315-478-5109, щоб
домовитись.
