Support the Mission
Thank you for supporting the mission of our family of parishes. Your generosity helps us bring the Gospel to life, through sacraments, outreach, education, sacred spaces, and care for those in need.
We are one body in Christ. Together, we are building a Church that is vibrant, welcoming, and ready to serve. There are many ways to give, explore the options below to choose what works best for you and your family.
Why Your Gift Matters
When you give to your parish, you’re not just keeping the lights on—you’re helping someone encounter Christ.
Your generosity supports:
- The celebration of Mass and the sacraments
- Outreach to the poor and vulnerable
- Catechesis and youth formation
- Maintaining sacred worship spaces
- Our priests, staff, and parish ministries
Whether you give a little or a lot, regularly or occasionally, you are part of something bigger: the mission of the Church.
Ways to Give to our Parishes
Please see below for all the ways you are able to financially give to our Family of Parishes. Our Family of Parishes allow us to work together and share in many ways. Each parish does remain separate canonically, which means they retain their own individual names as well, your donation stays within the parish you indicate.

How We Give: The 4 Ps of Catholic Generosity
Inspired by Church of the Nativity (MD), we teach intentional giving through:
- Planned – Budget your gift first, not last
- Priority – Give God your “first fruits”
- Percentage – Pick a % of income to give
- Progressive – Grow your giving as you’re able
Thank You
Your support helps our Family of Parishes live out the Gospel.
You make it possible to celebrate, serve, and share Christ with the world.
“I will offer you a thanksgiving sacrifice and call on the name of the Lord.” — Psalm 116
