Cornelius, OR
As of March 2020 all of our parishioners and visitors have access to our online giving page. At this moment we have two funds open and availble to donate to through this online method, but will be increasing as needed.
Our parish financial situation has been seriously affected by the pandemic. For the 2020-2021 fiscal year, we project a loss of $200,000 to $250,000. Our Sunday collection has been reduced from about $8000 per week to $4000per week; we also anticipate loss of revenue from food sales and from weddings, quinceañeras, baptisms, house blessings and other services. No organization is immune to the drastic economic effects of the measures to control COVID-19.
Our parish family, like any family, faces difficult choices. We must either increase revenue or reduce expenses. Before making a decision on reductions in staffing, office hours or parish services, I am first asking all parishioners to help. If you are able, we need you to increase your support of our offertory, as some parishioners at this time are unable to contribute. If you have ideas and/or energy to dedicate to special fundraising, we need to hear from you. Please contact Eva Alvarado: ealvarado@archdpdx.org, 503-359-0304 ext. 14. And for everyone, please pray for our community and for our world.
These are hard times, but our community is strong and united. God’s love sustains us. With God’s help we will get through this together. Thank you, and may God bless you and your loved ones today and always.

La situación financiera de la parroquia se ha visto seriamente afectada por la pandemia. Durante el ciclo fiscal 2020-2021, proyectamos un déficit de $200,000 a $250,000. Nuestra colecta dominical se ha bajado de aproximadamente $8000 por semana a $4000 por semana; también anticipamos la disminución de ingresos de la venta de comida y de bodas, quinceañeras, bendiciones de casa y otros servicios. Ninguna organización se encuentra inmune a los efectos económicos drásticos de las medidas para controlar el COVID-19.
Nuestra familia parroquial, así como toda familia, enfrenta decisiones difíciles. Tenemos que aumentar los ingresos o reducir los gastos. Antes de tomar una decisión en la reducción en personal, horas de oficina o servicios parroquiales, primero les estoy pidiendo la ayuda a todos los feligreses. Si puede, necesitamos que aumente su apoyo al ofertorio, ya que en este momento algunos feligreses no pueden contribuir. Si tiene ideas y/o energía para dedicar a la recaudación especial de fondos, necesitamos que nos avise. Favor de comunicarse con Eva Alvarado: ealvarado@archdpdx.org, 503-359-0304 ext. 14. Y para todos, favor de hacer oración por nuestra comunidad y por el mundo.
