Grateful and Generous
Stewardship means giving back to God in gratitude for all He has given us. Giving from our treasure, our money, is a pillar of our faith – just like attending Sunday Mass or participating in parish ministries.
- When I give money, do I share my “first fruits” or merely what is “left over”?
- Can I increase my offering to my parish by 1% or more this year?
- Can I commit to tithing to build up the Church (5% to support my parish, 5% to the Church and other charities)?
Pray for God’s guidance, keep an open heart, and use the giving guide below to help make your decision. Thank you for your continue generosity to support our parish mission. Please remember your parish in your estate plan.
