How can I be a good steward of my treasure?

As parishioners of St. Patrick Church of Merna we need to SHAPE the future for future generations…

S – Spiritual Gift: pray before you give

H - Heart: look deep into your heart before giving

A – Ability: look at your ability to give, make a sacrifice, equal sacrifices not equal giving

P – Personable: your gifts should be agreeable and beneficial to all

E – Experience: remember your experiences, the experience to give is rewarding to ALL

Strive to follow the Biblical tithe of 10 percent.

•    5 percent to the weekly Sunday parish offertory,

•    1 percent to the Annual Diocese Appeal

•    4 percent to other charities of your choice (including second collections, offerings for the poor, etc.)
