Why Give?

Because we’re asked to return a portion of all that we receive from the Lord. Time, Talent and Treasure are gifts given to each of us for which we are ultimately accountable. We give of our time in prayer with God, our talent by participating in ministries and charities, and our treasure by sharing our finances, traditionally returning 5 percent of what God has given to us to support the parish and another 5 percent to charities of our own choosing. Over and above this we give alms to the poor, a powerful witness to the Christian faith.

Sunday Collections

While many use paper envelopes to support the parish on a weekly basis some have opted to switch to online giving. This helps the parish in planning and ensures regular contributions so we do not fall short during vacations. OSV Online Giving is a secure site that allows you to make a one-time gift or set recurring gifts on a regular basis. Set up Online Giving at https://osvhub.com/sfastl/funds

The Francis Fund

This fund is an investment in the future of young Catholics as it helps keep Catholic education affordable at the local level. It helps support the St. Francis school, minimizing the need for an increase in tuition. It also creates scholarships to benefit families that may not be able to give their children a solid Catholic education. Donate to the Francis Fund at https://osvhub.com/sfastl/funds.

Giving Back

Giving is great for the soul. It “returns a bigger benefit to the giver than the receiver. It expands our hearts … our capacity to love and be loved.” Giving also “transforms the giver … their family, their business, and their community.” We must also consider how “the receiver is blessed as well, receiving gifts of donors’ money and time … more importantly, their heart and spirit and support … of the organization and the mission.” – Dan Prosser, The Donor Motivation Group
