Stewardship of Treasure

Making a Difference by Sharing of our Financial Resources

If you haven’t already decided on your parish stewardship commitment, please prayerfully consider your giving and return a commitment card to our parish office, through the mail, or in the collection basket.

What is the right amount to give? When you are at peace about the size of your gift - when you do not find yourself making excuses for its size (either too big or too small) and you know in your heart that you have been completely honest with yourself and God - then your gift is the proper size.

The chart below provides a guideline for deciding the portion of your giving based on your household income. Each year, we ask you to reflect and re-evaluate your financial giving - is it a gift that is planned, proportionate, sacrificial and thankful? An equal percentage should be considered for giving to the 'other half' such as Special Collections, the Annual Catholic Appeal and other charities.
