Stewardship of Charity

As part of Immaculate Conception Parish’s Full Stewardship of Spirituality, we hold our annual parish “Stewardship of Charity” event.

Each year we designate 2% of our previous year’s collections to be given to various charitable organizations that serve the poor  and align with Catholic Social Teaching (USCCB.org), especially the Option for the Poor and Vulnerable, and regard for Life and Dignity of the Human Person. We would like to help as many organizations as possible, so no one charity will receive more than 10% of the fund and any group already regularly supported by our parish (ex: envelopes or special events) will not be eligible. Parish families will have the opportunity to nominate their favorite charity

This is an opportunity for parishioners to get involved in parish gift-giving by nominating their favorite charities to receive a donation. One nomination per family may be submitted electronically on the parish website, or on paper forms that will be provided in the gathering space and parish office. Please be prepared to submit the name, mailing address, email, and phone number of the charity you are nominating to be received in the Parish office by 4:00 pm, March 1st, for consideration.   Any charity that was nominated in previous years may be nominated again

If you do not have a charity to nominate, you can still participate in the voting process which will help decide where the parish funds will be allocated. This is an excellent opportunity for all ages to get involved in actively giving. Gather your family members and decide where your 10 votes will go.  The voting forms will be available in the gathering space outside of church between March 17 & March 24.

Help make a difference in the lives of those in need!

As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace. 1 Peter 4:10
