Giving to St. Gerard

As you are probably aware, St. Gerard Catholic Church is involved in a lot of things with a lot of people and organizations. We rely on you to help make sure those connections stay strong. Heat or A/C, lights, water, etc. all come at a cost. While we hate asking for money (seriously...it's the worst), we really need your help. We simply cannot engage the ministries we have without your support. We ask all parishioners for a tithe, essentially for 10% of your income. If this is impossible, and we realize it is for some, we ask for some amount of committed, percentage giving. Not only because we need funds to function well, but because we are utterly convinced that there is a spiritual component to this as well.

So I thought it necessary to urge the brethren to go on to you before me, and arrange in advance for this gift you have promised, so that it may be ready not as an exaction but as a willing gift. The point is this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must do as he has made up his mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that you may always have enough of everything and may provide in abundance for every good work. As it is written, "He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever." He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your resources and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way for great generosity, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God; for the rendering of this service not only supplies the wants of the saints but also overflows in many thanksgivings to God.

2 Corinthians 9:5-12

Please, consider in prayer how you can give back to your parish family. We rely on your support and literally cannot do it without you.
