We want to make you aware of the upcoming changes to the Offertory Envelopes you receive in the mail. Why make this change? Beacons of Light is asking our parishes to move in the direction of becoming a single parish. Therefore, many things in our parishes will be standardized across all four locations over the course of this initiative. Collection envelopes are one of those areas. Funds received will remain at the parish where they are donated. 
Here are the changes effective July 1st: 

• St. Ann, St. Bernard, and St. Margaret Mary Envelopes will be mailed bi-monthly starting in June 2025 for July and August. St. James Offertory Envelopes will be mailed bi-monthly starting for 2026. 
• All four churches Offertory Envelopes will have the same layouts for information, but Church specific.
• St. Vincent de Paul envelopes will be in only for the months which have a 5th Sunday. 
• The current envelope each parish uses for capital/continued improvements/beautification will be renamed to Building and Grounds, and it will be a quarterly envelope. 
• Holy Day Offertory Envelopes and specific flower donation envelopes will be identical in design. 
• Special Archdiocese Collection Envelopes will not change.

For those donation requests that no longer have a printed envelope, we encourage you to continue what donations you would like to make by using your own envelope or by using our online platforms. 
Further changes are possible as the Beacon's initiative unfolds.
