Support and Give

Living a Life of Stewardship

Offertory

The offertory collection at Mass is an integral part of the Sunday liturgy, not just because it is the primary means by which the parish receives financial support from parishioners, but because it is also an expression of our gratitude to God for the blessings He has given us to return a portion of them back to Him for use by His church. This includes the weekly offering, debt reduction, poor box donations etc.

Annual Collections

Annual collections include yearly parish and Diocesan collections which help support the Church’s pastoral work of evangelization, catechesis, and institutional development, at home and around the world.
