From The Desk of the Pastor

Wednesday, March 26, 2025

This weekend our parish family is featuring the Witness Pillar of our community. The witness aspect of a parish community involves living out and sharing the faith through words, actions, and lifestyle. Parishioners bear witness to Christ by demonstrating love, justice, and compassion in their daily lives.

This includes evangelization, teaching the faith, and engaging in the faith formation/catechetical efforts in the parish. Through personal testimony, outreach programs, and active participation in the Church’s mission, the parish community becomes a visible sign of God’s presence in the world. Please check out the witness ministries at Mary, Mother of Our Savior Parish that are dedicated to strengthening our faith by sharing it with others.

    **Please see the Parish Online Calendar for the Most Updated Schedule. Events and Canceleations**

What are Youth Ministry Nights?

Our Youth Ministry Nights (YMN) consist of games and snacks, followed by a short faith message. Then the teens form small groups to talk about that topic in a safe, honest, authentic way with their peers.

This is a highlight of the night, to hear from peers about the faith, to share doubts and questions and to be lifted up and encouraged in their faith in God, all guided by an adult core team member. Then we go to the chapel for a short prayer service and end with an awesome dinner!

We also make sure to include social nights once a month. Social Nights may include: Movie Nights, Camp Fires, Holiday Parties, Trips/Teen Outings like GetAir, Retreats, Service Opportunities and more...

For information, please reach out to Brittany Wilcox: bwilcox@syrdio.org

New Online Giving Platform +

Thursday, December 12, 2024

Dear Parish Family,

We are pleased to announce that as of December, Online Giving is available for you to make contributions to the church. This option makes use of current technology and security standards, and allows you to easily setup recurring contributions. It also enables our church to take advantage of new tools to become more efficient.

Online Giving Parishioner Benefits

  • Secure and confidential. No need to share payment information with the church office.
  • Efficient. Set up direct withdrawals from your checking, savings account or a credit card.
  • Simple. Start, stop and change your contributions at any time.
  • Convenient. No need to write a check or have cash available.

Our previous online giving platform, WeShare by Ministry Brands, has been a success, with over 180 households using it to support our parish. We feel, however, that it is now time to change vendors to one that better meets our needs. Effective December 2024, we will be using Online Giving, from Our Sunday Visitor, as our electronic offertory vendor.

Considerable thought and analysis have gone into this decision; our reasons for the change are:

  • Better Pricing
  • More effective data interface and back office support
  • Our Sunday Visitor is an established Catholic support service (www.osv.com)
  • Flexibility in payment options

Online Giving is intended to be a convenient tool for you to use, and we strongly support both Online Giving and Offering Envelopes for contributions to the parish. Online Giving is the electronic way to participate in weekly offertory.

To access the online giving link for our parish’s weekly offertory, please visit here

God Bless,
Father Jason C. Hage, Pastor
Online Giving is provided by Our Sunday Visitor, a Catholic not-for-profit organization serving parishes for more than 100 years.
