How
Much Should I Give?
God calls us to generously return gifts that he gives us to help build his Kingdom, and to help each other. We call this STEWARDSHIP. Our parish is committed to the stewardship of time, talent and treasure. This kind of sharing makes it possible for us to realize our mission as a parish community.
Want to give? Just print and fill out our Ministry commitment form and turn it into the parish
offices.
“…it
is in giving that we receive…”
-
The Prayer of St. Francis
No one can tell you how much to give, we only suggest, as do many passages in the Scriptures. Our giving should be:
Planned: as we plan all of our financial
responsibilities
Proportionate: in proportion to what we have
received
Sacrificial: giving out of our substance – not
necessarily until it hurts, rather until it feels GOOD!
In addition, our giving should include the
following benefactors:
Our Parish:
The Sacrificial Giving Guide (below) suggests
that we contribute of our tithe to our parish
Our Archdiocese:
One-quarter of our tithe could be given to the
Archdiocesan Appeal FIA (Faith in Action)
Other Charities:
Another quarter of our tithe could be assigned
to other charities in our community and the world.
