Giving calls us to share our financial resources and material gifts in gratitude for God’s blessings. Rooted in the Church’s teaching on the responsibility to support the Church and care for those in need (CCC 2043, 1829, 2447–2449), it is lived through tithing, charitable contributions, and acts of generosity that strengthen our parish and serve the broader community.
A one-time gift is a meaningful way to support our parish at any time, in any amount. Whether offered in gratitude, in memory of a loved one, or simply to help meet current needs, your single contribution strengthens our ministries, supports parish operations, and furthers our mission to serve God and one another. Every gift is a blessing and we thank you for your extraordinary generosity!
The faithful practice of giving a portion of one’s resources to support the mission and work of the Church.
- Tithing traditionally means giving a set portion of income — generally 10% — as an act of trust, gratitude, and stewardship toward God.
- Offerings are additional monetary gifts given freely beyond the tithe, often designated for special needs, ministries, charitable outreach, or parish projects.
Contribution Evelopes: Our parishioners use Contribution Envelopes to submit their giving to our parish. Envelopes are ordered quarterly and have the parishioners name on them in order that we may track giving correctly for tax purposes.
ACH Debits: A convenient way to make SPCC donation contributions, your chosen gift amount is automatically electronically debited from your account on the schedule you choose and credited to St. Patrick Catholic Church - without fee to you or the church. To sign up for ACH Debit contributions, fill out the form below and return it to the Rectory.
An endowment is a fund made up of donated money that is invested to generate profit over time. An endowment gift is a donation made to the endowment fund and is a lasting investment in the future of our parish. Contributions to the endowment are carefully stewarded so that the principal remains intact while earnings provide ongoing support for parish ministries, formation, outreach, and facility needs. By making an endowment gift, you create a legacy of faith that continues to bless our parish community for generations to come.
A thoughtful way to support our parish through financial gifts arranged now that will be realized in the future. These gifts may be made through a will, trust, beneficiary designation, life insurance policy, or other estate planning tools. Planned giving allows you to care for your loved ones while also creating a lasting legacy that strengthens our parish mission for generations to come. SPCC accepts the following:
- Bequests - written statement in a donor’s will directing a portion of the estate or assets be transferred to St. Patrick Catholic Church at the donor’s death.
- Life Insurance - the naming of St. Patrick Catholic Church and/or School as the beneficiary of a policy which will be tranferred to SPCS in the event of the donor’s death.
- Retirement plan or IRA - naming St. Patrick Catholic Church and/or School as the entire or partial beneficiary of the retirement plan assets, transferred in the event of the donor’s death.
