The work of this parish is made possible only through the faithful giving of God's people. Give as the Lord leads. For the faithful of the parish the standard giving amount is a tithe (10%) of the material bounty with which God has blessed you. Remember, it all belongs to God. He gives us the blessing of stewarding His bounty.
