Fr. Hien's Weekly Letter

My Dear Parishioners And Friends Of All Saints,
Blessings from our Lord be with you all.  Thank you for your love for all Saints Catholic church and school, especially with your faithful stewardship way of life, including your attendance at Holy Masses and financial contributions.  By now, every registered family should have received their Up To Date contribution statement to All Saints.  If you have not received your letter in the mail, please contact the church office so that we can update your address.  If you have not registered with us yet, please join us so that together we can be a team to serve our Lord in each other.  Also, included in your letter was the church and school’s fiscal year financial statement for your viewing.  This financial statement has been reported to the diocese for their annual viewing and editing if needed.  As usual, we are required to report to the diocese all the financial contribution/collection as well as to tithe 10 percent of the total collection to the diocese, plus another 7.5 percent to the diocese to support Catholic education, especially to the two high schools and low-income parishes in Wichita.  As you can tell in our bulletin, we have never met our weekly budget.  This budgeted amount was established in 2018 as a guide for the parishioners to work toward.  Please pray for me so that I will always be wise with your contribution and able to pay our bills for our church and school.  I want to thank everyone for your faith in God and your financial support to the mission of the Catholic Church at All Saints as well as of the diocese and the global church.  I can only encourage you to tithe and tithe faithfully to All Saints so that we can continue evangelizing and providing Catholic education to our children.  FYI—soon the parish will be using Legacy Bank as our bank for our church and school’s banking.  Legacy Bank is a Catholic family-owned bank that has done many good deeds as well as providing many wonderful services to the church.  Every family is recommended to use our direct deposit/ACH banking system to help the parish save money from buying and shipping envelopes to your home.   
Church’s Directory: Please sign up to have your family picture taken on November 24th-25th—in the school.  These are the only dates available.  The 8x10 professional picture is free to you and to any family, including families that don't belong to our church or school. Please encourage your loved ones and neighbors to take this opportunity for a free family picture.  No one must buy any picture if he/she wishes not to.
Again, thank you to all those who joined us for the Marian Days celebration.  It was so fun and so many people came to All Saints church and school.  Thank you to all those who loved All Saints and helped us celebrate our Catholic faith and share our time, talents, and treasures with others.  We are spreading the good news of God’s love with each other and helping others to be loved and to be thankful.  Thank you all for your generous gift of time, talent and treasure that made this event possible. Jesus loves us all, Fr. Hien
