Why Do We Give?

Giving is an expression of our love for God and our neighbors, and a reflection of our commitment to faithful stewardship of the life God has entrusted to us. Catholic stewardship is a way of life rooted in the belief that everything we have and everything we are is a gift from God. God reveals His perfect and infinite love most fully through His Son, Jesus Christ. As stewards, we make that love visible by striving to imitate Jesus in generosity, service, and sacrifice.

Tithing is a sacred practice, established by God in the Old Testament, that calls us to return ten percent of our blessings to Him. By placing God first—above all other financial obligations—we demonstrate our trust in His providence and our gratitude for His abundant grace. As Scripture reminds us, “Everything we have, everything we are, is by God’s initiative, grace, and providence.”

Our Catholic faith and parish community are priceless treasures that bring hope, joy, and meaning to families who worship, learn, lead, and serve together. Thank you for sharing your love and support so generously each year. Your continued commitment helps build a strong foundation for the future, nurturing faith, hope, and joy for generations to come. Through your generosity, countless lives are blessed—including many we have not yet met.
