Online Giving
Our parish still must meet its payroll, pay bills and all the other monthly operational expenses that come our way. To that end, please continue, and maybe increase, your online giving. If you do not have an online account because you typically give via the offertory basket, please set up an online account or mail your checks to the parish offices. Thank you for helping with this essential component of our parish's life.
