Stewardship of Treasure Renewal 2023

Thanks to 106 families who have already returned your Parish Stewardship commitment card. We expect everyone else as members of our parish to prayerfully evaluate your giving to the parish and community and after praying, fill out your commitment card and return it as soon as possible. 

Your commitment will allow us to establish the budget for next year to support many ministries, formation programs, sacraments, liturgies, projects which are to sustain our church.

If you have a circumstance that prevents you from committing money this year, you are still a valued member of this church and we urge you to return your commitment card with the word, prayer, on it.  Thank you

You have the option of returning the Stewardship of Treasure Commitment Card by mail, collection basket, or by pledging online at Sacrificial Giving Renewal Form 

We pray that all parish members are eager to return their pledge and share their gifts with their parish; grant that their faith is deepened and their lives become further enriched by their generosity.
