HOW MUCH TO GIVE?


How much to give is a question we must all answer in our heart. While no one can tell someone else what to give, a goal of $750,000 cannot possibly be realized without your generosity. The amount of our pledge should not be something we can easily afford. Often, if we look at our total gift from a weekly giving standpoint, we can more easily commit to an amount much higher than we originally thought we could afford to give. After you have arrived at an amount, prayerfully ask yourself these two questions:

1. Am I proud of the amount of my gift?

2. Does my gift reflect my love of God and my parish?
