NEW ON-LINE GIVING PLATFORM COMING 1/1/2025!!!!!

If you would like to contribute for the remainder of 2024 please contact the Parish Office at 614-488-6149

To receive envelopes please call the church office at (614) 488-6149.

To be able to assign contributions that you make to your family profile they need to be identifiable by placing cash or a check in a church envelop, blank envelop with your name and address, giving a check with your current name and address or giving through EFT. While we are extremely grateful for loose cash in the basket we have no way of assigning it to a person.

What is the definition of “Participating Membership in a Parish,” and why does it matter?  According to the Diocese of Columbus Policy Number 3130.0:

In order … to be acknowledged by the parish as a ‘participating member,’ it is necessary that a family or the individual adult meets all the following:

  • Is registered in the parish,

  • Is recognized by the pastor as … participating in the sacramental life of the parish,

  • Contribute time and talent to the ministries of the parish, and

  • Regularly contribute an appropriate portion of their annual income to the financial support of the parish.

Satisfying these criteria matters because they qualify or disqualify a family or an individual adult from enjoying a number of privileges the parish offers.  For example, those who fail to contribute to the financial support of the parish may find that (1) they are not eligible for a tuition reduction in our grade school or for a parish subsidy to attend any other Catholic school; (2) they or their children are not eligible to wed at the parish church; (3) they are not eligible for approval as a baptismal or confirmation sponsor; and/or (4) their child’s or children’s eligibility for one or more Sacraments of Initiation are compromised or complicated.
