Thanksgiving is perhaps one of the busiest travel holidays of the year. College students are coming home for the first time since the beginning of the semester, friends and family are flying in from out of town and roads are busier due to the long holiday weekend. Are you one of the millions travelling this Thanksgiving? If you are, Parish Giving is here to help!

Since it is a busy time of the year, we thought we’d offer a silent prayer to help you relax on your journey. Whether you are picking a family member up at the airport, driving to someone’s house for the holidays, or taking the train across the state, you can use this prayer to calm your mind and your nerves.

Thank You

For sending

Your angels

To guard us here;

I believe You

Love and Protect

Like no other.   

Also, since many are travelling away from home this holiday, you may be celebrating mass at a different parish. This does not mean that you are not able to give your regular offering to your church. You can use Parish Giving to make your weekly offering. This way you do not have to stamp your offering envelope, and wait for them to cash your check. You can set up your account prior to the weekend, and know that Sunday morning everything is taken care of.

We hope everyone has a blessed and safe Thanksgiving with their families and loved ones. Whether near or far, the holidays are always a special time of the year. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
