Financial Stewardship & Giving

We invite all parishioners to give generously of their financial resources in proportion to what they have receive. We give out of gratitude to God and the more the parish receives, the more we can do for the building up of God's Kingdom, the more we can help the poor, the more programs we can run to help others grow. 

We ask that you use the envelope system or the Faith Direct online giving program to make your weekly donations. We suggest that you prayerfully decide what is a proportionate share of the material resources God has provided to you.

A Gift that is Sacrificial, Planned, Consistent and Proportionate

Your gift will be representative of a true Christian commitment if it is sacrificial, planned, consistent and proportionate. You may want to increase your level of giving to a percentage that truly reflects a sacrificial and proportionate gift.

​

One baby step can become a giant leap of faith. To a person giving 1% or less of their income to the church, the idea of giving 3 to 5% or more is startling. If this is how you feel, then simply consider a small baby step up. Perhaps 1/2 or 1% would also constitute a giant leap of faith.
