Giving to charity shows a great reliance on God, and God rewards a cheerful giver. Ever since I began “tithing,” God has given me more blessings than I can imagine. And as He gives me more, I try to give more away.
Collections in our parish cover less than 50% of our parish expenses. With the costs of insurance, salaries, utilities and upkeep, we have a tough time. Without some generous benefactors donating at year’s end, we would be in bad shape! We’re a parish that is very generous to the poor, but we also need to be good stewards of our church and buildings that have been left to us by past generations.
Please consider the following: If you give less than $5 into the collection each week, perhaps you can raise it to $5. And if you give more than $5, perhaps you can raise your contribution by 25%. Thank you for your consideration in helping to preserve our precious parish!
Your help will make a big difference in our ability to meet our financial obligations. One way to make this easy is to use our electronic giving program. To sign up, visit our Online Donations page to set up your online giving account. You may also use the paper authorization form available here or from Arielle Nash in the parish office. Call Arielle if you have difficulties.
