       The Katharine Konnection

My Fellow Parishioners,

As was noted  in last weekend’s bulletin, I am reducing my hours at Saint Katharine Drexel.  I will retain my responsibilities for the parish’s finances and, of course, “other duties as assigned.”  Stuart Henderson will become the Director of Parish Operations on February 1. I know he’ll do a great job overseeing the facilities and administration, in addition to continuing with his responsibilities for parish communications. Congratulations Stuart on your promotion!

A parishioner asked me this weekend if I will continue to make videos for Katharine Konnections.  And the answer is – absolutely!   See the video below

Here’s what you need to know, as noted in the video:

We will be distributing 2020 year-end contribution statements to all donors by the end of January.  We will use two methods to send them out this year.  If you have an email address in our system, we will email you a link that you can use to view and print your contribution statement.  If you do not have an email address in our system, we will send your statement to the mailing address in our system.  If you have any questions, please let me know.

And finally, THANK YOU for your tremendous generosity in the 2020 Christmas collection which totaled over $39,000, that’s $7,000 higher than in 2019.  Be sure to look for the 2nd quarter 2021 financial results in the bulletin in a few weeks.

Blessings,

Pat O’Connor

(Outgoing) Director of Parish Operations
