PARISH CENSUS

It’s time to update our Parish Census. If you are new to St. Dennis, if you are 18 or older, out of high school, living with your parents or on your own in our church

community. Please go to our Parish website: stdennischurch.org and fill out a Census form. If you don’t have a computer, you can pick a form up at the parish office. Please call ahead of time, office is only open on Thursdays from 9am to 1pm.

Please Note: This Census Form is for the purpose of updating our Parish records.

Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Dennis Parish,

I hope and pray that all is well with you and your loved ones and the good folks of your businesses!

This is an unprecedented time which has caused significant challenges and one from which we all hope that we can emerge unscathed personally and business wise too. Our church is no different. Just as you have personal and business concerns including financial obligations, St. Dennis does as well.

To help raise the funds necessary for the survival of St. Dennis Church, our parish intends to hold its annual Bull Roast on July 25th. This event is one of the mainstays of our efforts to balance our budget and to provide a good meal and community fellowship. But, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we may not have our usual wonderful Bull Roast Festival on the scale that we experienced last summer. Our Fund-Raising Committee is trying to assemble as much interaction as possible within the government’s and Church’s guidelines for safe gatherings.

Crucial to our success has been the support of local individuals and businesses like yours. One form of this support that has been very popular in previous years has been to serve as a sponsor. We know that there have been business down turns and maybe your company has been hit hard. All we are asking is your prayerful consideration of the gifts that God has entrusted to your care. If you are able to be generous with your stewardship, we are grateful for your support.

The form for sponsoring opportunities is enclosed for your reference. The deadline for completed forms to sponsor is July 15, 2020.

If you can share in our efforts, please send your completed form, your business card or ad and check (to St. Dennis Church) and mail in the enclosed return envelope.

Thank you for whatever you can do to help the St. Dennis Church community so that we may better serve the larger community.

May God continue to bless you and reward your goodness!

Fraternally,

Rev. James D. Hreha, Pastor
