CHARITABLE GIVING
Mission:
It is the desire of Resurrection Parish to address our responsibility as a Catholic Christian Community to serve the poor, suffering and downtrodden of our community, nation and the world by allocating a fixed percentage of our offertory income to help alleviate their need. With rejoicing we accept this call of the Lord, Jesus, as His sons and daughters. The Charitable Giving Committee will investigate needs, allocate funds and audit their impact in accord with the desires of the Parish Community.
(Mission Statement, Resurrection Parish Charitable Giving Committee)
Monthly, we send some of your money to various groups that the Charitable Giving Committee has discerned to receive our help. The long tradition of the parish is to give at least 5% of our offertory giving to those in need. The parish receives thank you letters from the groups regularly and it good to pass on their thanks to all of you. Sometimes such goodness is so regular that you may not know the fluctuations of your giving are passed on to charitable giving.
So, although we don’t have these groups come to Sunday worship to give a face to those in need, know that they truly look forward to our regular support.
