Stewardship of Charity
As part of our Full Stewardship Spirituality, we will hold our annual parish Stewardship of Charity event remotely this year on Sunday, February 14. Each year we designate 2% of our previous year’s collections to be given to charitable organizations. Charities eligible for nomination must serve the poor, their mission and work must be consistent with Catholic moral teaching, and they must be charities not already regularly supported by our parish (for example, through envelopes or special events). To date, we have given approximately $235,000 to charities that our parishioners have chosen. This year we will donate $37,340, a 2% increase over last year, Any parish member may nominate a charity (one per family), which must be submitted by January 31 for consideration. Charities nominated in previous years may be nominated again. We like to help as many as possible, so no one charity may receive more than 10% of the fund. Come make a difference for the charity of your choice! Please be prepared to provide the name, mailing address, email, and phone number of the charity you are nominating. If you do not have a charity to nominate, you may still participate in the voting process and help decide where the parish funds will be allocated. This is appropriate for all ages and an excellent opportunity to get future generations involved in actively giving.
