Financial and Planned Giving

Sunday Collection 

In addition to being an instrument for making financial contributions to the parish, the weekly envelope can serve as an concrete expression of gratitude and sacrifice during the celebration of the Eucharist. All registered parishioners receive collection envelopes, or you can setup an Online Giving account.

Planned Giving

Leaving a gift through your will, establishing a charitable remainder trust, creating a gift annuity, or designating Saint Anthony as a beneficiary on a life insurance policy are just a few of the ways you can plan now to make a difference in the future.

In-Kind Gifts

In-Kind Gifts, such as labor and materials, can have a major positive impact on the Church. For example, if you own or work for an excavation, construction, electrical or plumbing company, your company may choose to donate its services and/or materials to the Church. This can be done pro bono or at a reduced rate. Tax benefits may apply for these gifts.

Donor-Specified Gifts

Parishioners are welcome to dedicate funds for particular parish needs—such as library books, vestments, and candles. Give a one-time gift with a tap using our new online giving program. Give online. 

Stock Gifts

Gifts of appreciated securities, including stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares, are encouraged when donors wish to make a charitable gift and avoid capital gains taxes.

Donors who give appreciated stock should discuss their gift with their adviser to take advantage of tax benefits available and to ensure your gift is completed before the end of the year.  Stock Transfer Instructions can be found here.
