God has blessed you with your financial resources. How are you going to use those resources well?
When we discern our annual commitment to the use of our TREASURE, we encourage you you to consider the importance of budgeting for your family’s needs. Consider the needs of children or aging parents who may have special expectations. It is important to take good care of your self and to contribute to the many charitable causes which enrich our world.
It is also important to consider what the parish community needs to fulfill our mission. We estimate that to meet our needs for the coming year, we need to see an increase of 10% in our weekly collections.
Perhaps as you look at your past commitment to Saint Andrew you realize you can give more than a 5% increase in offertory to cover those who cannot increase their giving this year.
This is also a good time to do some planning and make sure that Saint Andrew is in your last will or estate documents or to give from an IRA that has an RMD associated with it.
Set a goal for the stewardship of your TREASURE in the year ahead on the Stewardship Commitment Form and answer God’s call to Live Generously.
