Online Giving
Allows the giver to set up the amount that you would like to give and never have to worry about writing another check, forgetting your envelope, or having cash in your wallet. Our parish greatly appreciates all those who choose to give in this manner as it helps us maintain a consistent cash flow and pay all of our bills in a timely manner. May God bless you for your faithfulness.
Note: If you do not wish to give online you can still mail checks directly to the church.

A Prayer About Giving . . .
Holy One,
hear our prayers and make us faithful stewards
of the fragile bounty of this earth
so that we may be entrusted with the riches of heaven. Amen.
