NOTICE—
Fr. Timothy Davern of Tempe AZ recently passed away. Fr. Timothy was a former student at St. Paul School and was the first to be ordained from St. Paul Church.
Condolences may be sent to Mrs. Peggy Davern: .
THANK YOU
Thank you to all who contributed to the St. Paul Parish Endowment fund in honor of my 50th anniversary of ordination to the priesthood. The amount contributed was close to 9,000.00.
The Parish Endowment fund was set up in 1984. The reasons given to the Bishop for his approval were:
1) While the present needs are great, present income is almost keeping pace.
2) Projections show that prices will continue to go up and the economy of Macomb will not improve much if any.
3) It is necessary to secure the future of Catholic education in Macomb by having a sound financial basis. 4) It is necessary to begin providing for future capital improvements and major renovations.
Until this time it has not been necessary to draw from the fund, but in accordance with the wishes of one of the donors;the income from one instrumentis applied each month for partial payment of the power bill for the church. It amounts to 80.37 each month.
