2018 MassBook
There are quite a few Masses
available in the 201 8 Mass Book.
Please stop by the rectory to
reserve your Masses.
From the Pastor's Desk:
Dear Parishioners of St. Florian,
Thank you for your generosity and for all you do for St.Florian. At this time, when the heating season is approach-ing, we are trying to meet the demands that this means.
As you know, our heating bills are high every year. Our
old Church boiler is not only old, it is not sufficient for
our needs. Once it is turned on our gas bills skyrocket
because the controls on the boiler are not precise. We
are still waiting for the TO TEACH WHO CHRIST IS
campaign to give us money to install a new boiler, but
we need to wait until the campaign is over before we
receive any money, so there is still a couple of years
ahead of us. Meanwhile we have to face high heating
bills. We are still paying on last winter's bills and the
new heating season will begin in about 2 months. To
prevent the accumulation of all the heating bills I would
like to ask you to increase your donation in the ENERGY
ENVELOPE. I hope that the heating season will be mild
for all of us, but once the Church boiler is turned on
we are still paying for the usage.
I will keep you in my prayers, please keep me in yours.
Yours in Christ
Fr. Robert
