Steps to Supporting Your Parish Community
guidelines for supporting your parish
We all have different levels of financial resources, but we are all called to return in a measure we have been blessed. The Annual Stewardship Fund (church offertory) funds over 60% of the regular Annual Operating Budget which supports all ministries of our church including St. John Catholic School, liturgy, music, faith formation, school, youth activities, cemetery, Catholic Charities, and many more.
EXAMPLES OF GIVING BASED ON YOUR ANNUAL INCOME
Planned Giving
A planned gift is a part of estate planning. It may be given either during one’s lifetime or as part of one’s estate to support an institution and its program. It may be in such forms as cash or other assets, an annuity one purchases, or a life insurance policy or retirement account that names the institution as beneficiary.
