Planned Giving is an opportunity for each of us to commit to our parish and determine the level of financial support.
Why planned giving?
Planned giving supports everything we do as a parish including
- Maintenance of parish property & buildings
- Support of the clergy
- Contribution to Diocesan appeals
- Liturgical and sacramental expenses
Planned giving allows a parish to budget for its present and future needs with some certainty.
Who should give?
All parishioners have a responsibility to support their parish. The parish depends entirely on the generosity of its parishioners. It is important that new parishioners are included in this important aspect of parish life.
