At its core, tithing is an acknowledgement that the gifts or talents we have were entrusted to us by God, and are intended to be used for His glory and to spread the gospel. Tithing allows parishes to meet day-to-day needs, allocate funds for emergencies and fund future projects. It is understood, that as a community of faith, we are to provide for the needs of the Church. Fr. Hector Vega recommends that we fulfill the needs by tithing 5% of our income to the parish, 4% to charities of our choice, and 1% to the Diocese.

Listed below are tithing guidelines that may help you in deciding your recommended weekly sacrifice to the parish.
 

As we began the month of the Rosary, we were reminded by our Holy Father and by our Bishop to pray the rosary with many special intentions in mind. Asking the Blessed Mother to help us fight the battle against the demonic attacks who threaten to destroy so many people and institutions at this time, we want to join forces with her to renew the Church. Also, by adding the prayer to Saint Michael at the end of the rosary we are imploring his powerful help in this struggle. 

I'm always so impressed with the great love with which Jesus speaks of His beloved Mother and of her rosary. "Love My Mother, love My Mother more and more. You will never approach the love of My own Heart for her by yourself, but I, by My free gift, can and will unite you to the love of My Sacred Heart for her. Thus will you come to experience the ineffable union of our two Hearts in your own heart. 
Be faithful to her Rosary. It is the shield and sword of spiritual combat. It assures your victory over the powers of darkness. Why? Because it is a humble prayer, a prayer that binds the soul who prays it to the victory of My Mother over the ancient serpent." (When Heart speaks to Heart, pg. 59) 

Those of us who have prayed the rosary for a long time already know that this is so true. She really is powerful in her intercession and - together with St. Michael - she will win the battle over all dark forces. Let us trust and believe!

Our Welcome Ministry encourages you to join our parish.  What does parish membership offer?

Parish membership allows us to encounter Jesus.  Jesus promised us he would join us when we gather together - “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Matt 18:20

Parish membership offers us a spiritual family where we encounter fellowship and community..  St. Paul said “Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, as indeed you do.” 1 Thes 5:11
