Financial

Opportunities to give remotely:

  • Use the Donate tab on our website, select “Sunday Mass offering” and donate with PayPal or Credit Card
  • Consider switching your giving to “Electronic Funds Transfer” by printing and filling out the form on the Donate tab on the website and sending to us in the mail.

We realize that the coming weeks and months will be a tight time financially for many people. We also realize that some of our costs of operation will be reduced. However, there are still facility and staff expenses that we need to attend to. If you are able to continue to support us in this time, we prayerfully consider that you do so.

Also, here are the scheduled recipients of the parish tithes through Easter if you would like to donate directly to these organizations:

  • March 29 – Helping Hands of St. Louis
  • April 5 – Toledo Northwestern Ohio Food Bank
