God wants to be first in every aspect of our lives—including our finances. Tithing isn’t about our money, it’s about our relationship with God. By bringing him our first 10%, we’re demonstrating that we trust that he will provide for us. Malachi 3:10 tells us that when we tithe and bring back to God what is already his, he will bless us.

Malachi 3:10-
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test!

Where Does My Giving Go?
-
Every gift to our parish directly fuels vibrant worship, supports hundreds of kids in our youth ministries, and sustains vital outreach—from local shelters and food pantries to our mission in Honduras. Whether it is preparing the altar for Sunday Mass, forming small groups for adults, or simply keeping our sanctuary warm, welcoming, and open to all, your generosity brings Christ's love to life within our walls and far beyond them. Thank you for investing in our faith community and its mission.~ Fr. Mike Jones, Pastor

OUR GiVing should be
PLANNED
Our giving should not be spare change that we happen to have on hand. And we shouldn't be giving out of guilt. Instead, we want our giving to be part of our budget set aside from the beginning. It should be an intentional choice to give that part of your income.PRIORITYOur giving should come first in our budgeting process. Before you do anything else with your money, you should decide on your giving.
PERCENTAGE
When the bible talks about giving it uses the standard "tithe" of 10%. But the percentage part is more important then the 10 part. We want you to pick a percentage and start giving to the church using a percentage, any percentage.
PROGRESSIVE
If our giving is a percentage, then we should continue raising it each year as our income grows - if we get a raise or cost of living adjustment we pass that on in our offering to God. You should also reevaluate regularly if you're able to give a higher percentage.

steps to giving
Begin with prayer
You can also give cash or checks in the offertory basket at Mass.
Thank God for your blessings and ask for guidance and discernment.
Evaluate your income & giving
Determine your current giving as a percentage of your income.
Commit to your giving goal
If you are not currently giving, start. Pick a percentage to start with and then plan to increase the percentage each year, growing toward 10%. The important thing is to begin the spiritual discipline of regular, consistent giving.
If you are currently giving, thank you for your generosity. Prayerfully consider increasing your commitment to 10% or more as you are able.
