St. Mary's - Stewardship - Gift of Treasure

Stewardship of treasure is giving as much as we can, as often as we can, from the heart as a faith response because we are generous stewards who want to share our time, talent, and treasure with others. Frequently, in discussions of stewardship, reference will be made to the "biblical tithe" (giving 10% of income) and other norms that could provide helpful guidelines for generous giving. As disciples of Jesus, each of us has a responsibility to support the Church and to contribute generously to the building up of the Body of Christ.

To strengthen stewardship at St. Mary’s Parish, we’d like you to consider utilizing an easier way to support our parish . . . Automated Giving. It's easy and convenient for you and helps the parish better plan and budget when we can be assured of our income each month. You also can budget and make your offerings more conveniently without writing checks or remembering envelopes. It is an alternate means of support for St. Mary’s Parish instead of using envelopes. In lieu of weekly collections, the ParishPay program will collect monthly contributions from your checking, savings or credit card account. There is NO cost to you to participate in the program.
