Nearly 25% of household charitable giving happens between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. Many organizations depend on financial assistance like we do. But, we have a much smaller overhead and audience to ask for support - our parish family.
When you give to The Holy Name of Jesus your gifts are used to feed the spiritual needs of our family and visitors through the beauty of the Mass - the environment, the music, the Word, and the Eucharist. You support Faith Formation education programs to teach our children about our faith and values. (Fees charged for these programs do not cover the full cost.) You offer food for the less fortunate through AJ’s Kitchen’s Monday lunches, and the Annual Christmas Basket program.
If you are interested in making a year-end investment in the mission of our parish and in our future Catholics, please keep in mind: Monetary donations given at Mass, received in the parish office, given online
OR
mailed and postmarked on or before December 31st are applied to 2015.
A note about Online Giving: You can access our Online Giving Program by clicking on the DONATE button on the Home Page. The program will ask you to register first. After you receive an email confirmation, you will be able to manage your online account.
Please allow extra time for the program to work - - - do not wait until December 31st.
There are tax and/or fee elimination advantages to donating property or stocks; plus, each year in December, Congress votes to deny or extend the option for an IRA Charitable Transfer. If you would like to plan ahead for the 2016 tax year, please contact me for assistance.
We thank you for supporting our parish family's mission!
