Treasure

Parish Support

How shall I make a return to the Lord for all the good
God has done for me?
Psalm 16:12

Stewardship of treasure begins not because God has need of our gifts but because each one of us has a need to return to God a truly grateful portion of our time, talent and treasure in thanksgiving for all the blessings that He has given us. The highest motive for giving is our gratitude to God for His many blessings.

How can I be a good steward of my treasure?

• acknowledge that all of my material possessions are gifts from God
• understand that my offering is my “thank you” to such a generous God
• give in proportion to the gifts I have received
• strive to follow the Biblical tithe of 10 percent;
  5 percent to the weekly Sunday parish offertory,
  1 percent to the annual Diocese of Rockford Appeal,
  4 percent to other charities of my choice (including second collections, offerings for the poor, etc.)
