Make a Donation to Our Parish

Our parish relies on the generous donations of our parishioners to serve our community. Parishioners are invited to take part in our Offertory Envelope program by becoming registered members of the parish or to sign up for our Online Giving program for automated donations to be withdrawn from your account. However, you desire to contribute to our parish, we are grateful for each contribution.
