Financial and online giving
|
Holy Spirit Church’s staff and volunteers work to make sure our parish is a good and responsible steward of the financial gifts you give, whether they be regular offertory contributions, bequests, or special donations. Click below for our annual report from our most recently completed fiscal year, as well as highlights of what your gifts of treasure helped us to achieve in the last year.
At Holy Spirit, each household is asked to work toward giving 5% of their income to the parish. Some families may have difficulty reaching this goal at first. If so, try increasing your weekly gift incrementally until you reach the amount that you know is what God is calling you to give. Weekly Giving -- Suggested Contribution Chart
