Bishop J. Terry Steib, S.V.D. Responds to HHS Edict

 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

     I write to you concerning an alarming and serious matter that negatively impacts the Church in the United States directly, and that strikes at the fundamental right to religious liberty for all citizens of any faith. The federal government, which claims to be “of, by, and for the people,” has just dealt a heavy blow to almost a quarter of those people—the Catholic population—and to the millions more who are served by the Catholic faithful. 
    The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced last week that almost all employers, including Catholic employers, will be forced to offer their employees’ health coverage that includes sterilization, abortion-inducing drugs, and contraception. Almost all health insurers will be forced to include those “services” in the health policies they write.  And almost all individuals will be forced to buy that coverage as a part of their policies. 
   In so ruling, the Administration has cast aside the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, denying to Catholics our Nation’s first and most fundamental freedom, that of religious liberty.  And as a result, unless the rule is overturned, we Catholics will be compelled either to violate our consciences, or to drop health coverage for our employees (and suffer the penalties for doing so). The Administration’s sole concession was to give our institutions one year to comply. 
    People of faith cannot be made second class citizens.  We are already joined by our brothers and sisters of all faiths and many others of good will in this important effort to regain our religious freedom. Our parents and grandparents did not come to these shores to help build America’s cities and towns, its infrastructure and institutions, its enterprise and culture, only to have their posterity stripped of their God given rights. In generations past, the Church has always been able to count on the faithful to stand up and protect her sacred rights and duties. I hope and trust she can count on this generation of Catholics to do the same. Our children and grandchildren deserve nothing less.    And therefore, I would ask of you two things. First, as a community of faith we must commit ourselves to prayer and fasting that wisdom and justice may prevail, and religious liberty may be restored. Without God, we can do nothing; with God, nothing is impossible. Second, I would also recommend visiting www.usccb.org/conscience, to learn more about this severe assault on religious liberty, and how to contact Congress in support of legislation that would reverse the Administration’s decision.


 KENNY DOLAN MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP

2012 PARISH OFFERTORY ENVELOPES

 

Each year we send a packet of offertory envelopes to each registered family.  These packets have contained a regular offertory envelope, holy day envelopes, second collection envelopes and a monthly debt reduction envelope.

 

For 2012, we have contracted with a new envelope supplier and have made a few additional changes.  With the discounts provided by the new supplier and the changes we have made, the parish will realize a significant savings.

 

·   Automatic Contribution System participants will not receive envelope packets.

 

If you make your regular offering through the parish’s Automatic Contribution System (ACS) whereby your offering is drafted from your checking account weekly or monthly, you will NOT be receiving an envelope packet.  You are asked to use the generic second collection envelopes for holy days and second collections.  Again, eliminating the over 100 books printed for those who use ACS adds to our savings.  If you decide to switch from ACS to envelopes, we will make an envelope packet available.

 

·   No second collection envelopes are included in the packets. “Generic” second collection envelopes will be made available for your use.

 

Including special offertory envelopes in each packet is very expensive since it entails setting up a template for each special envelope.  We have realized a significant savings by not including special offertory envelopes, with the exception of holy days, in your packets.  Rather, we have printed and will make available to you “blank” second collection envelopes in the pews and the narthex.  On these envelopes you will have an opportunity to write the amount of your offering, designate the respective collection, for example, St. Vincent DePaul, Catholic Relief Services, St. Ann Fun Day, etc.  You may also use these envelopes for making your Home, Family, Future campaign pledge payments and gifts by simply indicating “HFF” on the line marked “For.”

 

 Thank you, as always for your generous support of St. Ann, no matter how you make your contribution.  If you do use envelopes, we hope you will consider the ACS program which will eliminate the need to mail envelopes to you next year and also saves us on bank processing charges.

 

If you have any questions or comments on these changes, please contact Rob Marczynski at 373-6011 or at robert.marczynski@stann.cdom.org.
