Treasure


  

Why are Church Envelopes Important?

We wrap special gifts and carefully choose a card to fit the person we love.  In the same way our parish envelope is an external sign that this gift is a holy sacrifice freely given to our Lord.  That envelope signifies a commitment that enables the parish to budget for the future and the envelope serves as a reminder of our responsible Stewardship.

Why do We need a Pledge Card?

The use of a pledge card serves three very practical purposes:

1. It enables each parishioner to plan ahead exactly how much will be given to the parish and to charitable works.

2. It enables our pastor and/or the Finance Council to budget parish funds so that all our pastoral needs can be addressed efficiently.

3. It serves as a reminder of our responsible Stewardship so that our gift will be proportionate to our income and, therefore, a sacrificial gift to the Lord.
