How to Give

We’re all aware of the fact that just like our homes, running the St. Bart’s Parish requires funds. Volunteers can only do so much, and then salaries and bills need to be paid. For years our parishioners have diligently, honored their fiscal responsibilities to the parish. For we are grateful.

We are also aware of the uneven state of the economy and the difficulties it has raised for some parishioners. Just as the economy affects each of us so, too, does it present problems for the financial well-being of the parish. In light of this, we ask that, if you are able, you consider adding to your weekly/monthly contributions to help preserve the financial health of the parish.

We recently concluded our Tithe Campaign in three years. Some have embraced the scriptural value of tithing their 5% to the parish and 5% to charities. Some have also decided to stay with their own method of giving back to God. Whichever method is more appealing to you, the end goal is the same – to give back to God in gratitude for what He has given us. Our appeal is that we consider an increase whenever possible so that our growing ministries will continue unhindered and our parish to remain health for years to come.

Finally, our future as a parish community depends on your financial support for all that we try to accomplish as a faith community. We thank you for your past generosity and look forward to your continued support.
