Sunday Collection
The weekly Sunday collection is the primary parish giving opportunity that sustains the life of our parish. It ensures day-to-day operations and the continuation of liturgical, educational and ministerial programs. Parishioners are asked to give back to God in gratitude for the many gifts God has given them through a significant contribution on a regular basis. The easiest and most efficient way to do this is through our online giving options.
You can also contribute though Sunday Collection envelopes that are mailed to all parishioners who are not registered for automatic drafting or online giving.

The Ann Graf Early Childhood Center Memorial Fund
Loving and educating children was one of Ann’s greatest ministries. Ann Graf faithfully served our parish in the Early Childhood Center for twenty years; first as a music teacher, and then as its director. She passed away on August 6, 2012. Ann recognized that sometimes a financial hurdle can separate a child from attending preschool. It is Ann’s wish that this memorial fund be established to provide scholarships for children in need.
