¿SABIAUSTED…...Laimportanciadeutilizarlossobresdeldiezmo? Si se le pide que sea padrino, para el sacramento del Bautismo o la Con irmacion, uno de los requisitos es recibir una carta de la iglesia certi icando que usted asiste a Misa regularmente. Tenemos una parroquia grande y la unica manera de saber si viene a Misa regularmente es el uso de sus sobres. Todos los feligreses registrados tienen un numero de familia, el cual es el numero que se utiliza para su identi icacion y es el que se imprime en el exterior de los sobres. Por favor, use los sobres, no necesariamente tiene que colocar alguna cantidad en el interior, pero el numero en el exterior nos permite saber que estan asistiendo a Misa regularmente.
