Everything we have comes from and belongs to God; giving some of it back demonstrates how we steward his blessings. As we look to the future, prayerfully consider a commitment to the church that is reflective of your gratitude for God’s abundant grace.
You can make a difference in our parish…
By Your Gift Of TIME
Your presence and involvement in our parish community are powerful statements of your faith. You can make a difference by being here for Mass, prayer services, Bible studies, small group gatherings, Sacramental celebrations, service activities, faith formation, and other parish events.
By Your Gift Of TALENT
Our parish needs many different people with a wide range of abilities. We have obvious needs such as the need for worship and faith formation support. But we also have programs that are less obvious – ranging from the Society of St. Vincent DePaul, Stephen Ministry, Gifted Hands, small faith-sharing groups, hospitality, administrative, maintenance, and technology needs. Your gifts of talent can make ministry happen in our parish.
By Your Gift Of TREASURE
The money you contribute to St. Mary of the Assumption Parish via the offertory and Grand Annualcollection make ministry happen. These funds provide salaries, benefits, buildings, equipment, maintenance, materials, programs, and services which benefit all parishioners especially those in need of support. Your gifts given in thanksgiving for the charity God has shown you, will make a difference in the lives of many people.
As grateful disciples and caretakers of the blessings we have received, we are called to give from our hearts considering gifts that are...
Planned – a prayerful consideration of the blessings bestowed upon us. Proportionate – commensurate with what God has given us. Grateful – expressing our appreciation to God. Joyful – a gift given freely and without restrictions or conditions.
