You Are God’s Hands and Feet To The World.
God doesn’t need our money. What he’s truly after is us. Yet, how we use money is a very accurate indicator of where our heart is and what we value. Jesus said, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21). Giving is an act of worship and an act of commitment; to the community of believers, and those in need.

===== Christmas Appeal
Christmas Giving Message
As we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, let us remember the angel’s joyful proclamation:
“But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid.
I bring you good news that will cause great
joy for all the people. Today in the town of
David a Savior has been born to you; he is the
Messiah, the Lord.'” (Luke 2:10-11)
I bring you good news that will cause great
joy for all the people. Today in the town of
David a Savior has been born to you; he is the
Messiah, the Lord.'” (Luke 2:10-11)
This season, I invite you to join us in a special Christmas Appeal to support Transfiguration Parish and our mission of faith, service, and community. Your contributions make it possible to sustain our ministries, care for our sacred spaces, and provide outreach to those in need.
Here are two meaningful ways you can help this Season:
1) Make a Special Christmas Offering

===== 2024 Annual Catholic Appeal
Our parish is conducting our campaign for the Annual Catholic Appeal. Please remember that the Annual Catholic Appeal is much different than a one-time special collection. It is a pledge campaign where you can make a gift payable in installments. The new Annual Catholic Appeal theme, “Together at the table,” is an important theme as we prayerfully consider our support for the Appeal but also important for embracing the life that the Lord wants us to live.
Each pledge makes a difference! All parish communities participate in the campaign and the gifts of many enable our parishes, schools and ministries to deliver needed services. Thank you for your prayerful consideration and generous response.
To make your gift, you can complete the mail-in giving envelope available at church or make a gift online at
https://www.annualcatholicappeal.com.

“As you go, make this proclamation:
‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’”
‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’”
-Matthew 10:7
Many of us take our lives for granted. We think we have plenty of time to “repent.” Maybe we should live with a little more urgency in making things right with God. This is the difference in living our discipleship out of obligation versus out of love.
Obligation implies we do the minimum required. Love implies we want a relationship. God wants us to be with Him in Heaven forever, but He also wants to be in relationship with us right now, while we are on earth. Start this second – invite the Lord into your heart.
