Why we are asking

Tithe to your parish.

Regular giving pays for clergy, parish buildings and new missions.

Some people regard tithing as an Old Testament practice. The Old Testament required two full tithes and another tithe every third year. The Church Fathers taught Christians to give more, not less, under the New Covenant.

The parish asks members who can afford it to give 10% of their income. Many new parishioners are young and have limited incomes. Established members carry more of the cost.

If 10% is beyond your means, choose a smaller regular amount.

If you cannot give money, you can pray or volunteer.

The parish will need more clergy and church space as attendance grows.
