Fellow Parishioner:
St. Paul’s parish offertory program, SEVENFOLD, has been a great help to the ministries, mission and operation of our parish since it began several years ago. In reality, the program has enabled the parish to stay solvent through some difficult times. This year, please consider becoming a member by pledging your annual support.
Today the parish needs your help more than ever. During the past year, we had to use over half of our cash reserves to pay for critical exterior repairs to the church roof and facades as well as the rectory’s chimneys to prevent further water damage. Moreover, our non-SEVENFOLD offertory support has materially declined for the first time in many years.
Therefore, your support is especially appreciated and necessary at this time.
We would also be very appreciative if you would select an automatic electronic, monthly payment option by choosing either our very popular ParishPay option (bank transfer, or credit card payment), or an Electronic Funds Transfer option from your bank, such as Bank of America Bill Pay.
Your pledge Enrollment Form is contained in the enclosed brochure. Kindly return it to the parish office by mail or place it in the collection basket. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the rectory at 978-468-2337 or any member of the Parish Finance Council.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Sincerely,

Parish Finance Council
