Stewardship is our response to God's goodness through our time, talent, treasure, and prayer. You have unique gifts and talents from God; we invite you to share them through volunteering or participating in a ministry.

We also encourage you to support your parish by sharing your treasure with God through tithing. Your financial support enables us to pay our facilities expenses such as electricity, insurance, and grounds and building maintenance. Your gifts also help fund our outreach ministries, such as our Pinellas Hope Project. 

Automate your tithing using Online Giving or use Offertory Envelopes. Not only are these easy and efficient ways to give back to God, but they also help us to keep accurate records for planning purposes and to provide with an end of the year Contributions Statement for your tax purposes. (Contribution Statements available upon request through the parish office.)

Gifting Through IRA's

Donating part of all of your unused retirement assets is an excellent way to make a gift to your church. You may be able to give IRA assets to charity, free from federal tax with a transfer up to $100,000 from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA). For more information, please contact the Diocese of St. Petersburg Campaign Processing Office at (727) 341-6841.
