In this time of COVID-19, there are a lot of uncertainties. As your pastor, I have a responsibility to see that our stewardship of time, talent, and treasure is lived out even in the midst of difficult circumstances. With no public Masses last week and at least for the next 7 weeks, it's essential that the stewardship of treasure continue as we assist people in need and meet our budgets. We have furloughed most of our hourly employees in the school and are keeping essential operations in the parish functioning as we are able. With no Sunday collections, I'm asking each household to do one of three things:
1) Sign up for ACH (Automated Clearing House) withdrawal by calling Cindy Pudenz in our parish office at 712-732-2110 or by email at [email protected]. This allows the parish to draw a specific amount (of your choosing) from your bank account at a specific time of the month. You will need a voided check or your account and routing number to get this started.
2) Give online by clicking here- www.saintmarysgives.com

3) Send in or bring by envelopes. We are still receiving mail and if you're not comfortable mailing it, we have a secure mailbox in the parking lot by the parish office where you can safely drop off any envelopes. I am deeply grateful for your continued prayers. Let's keep supporting the parish so we can continue the great work of evangelization in a difficult time for many.
