According to the church financial records of the last year, the average contribution in donations and collections was $960 annually per donating parishioner. This is half of what the church needs to cover the general balance. The other half is always covered by all other church social fundraising events, such as the festivals, breakfasts, dinners, Lenten dinners, bingos, bake and craft sales. This generosity, that you are thanked for, made the church able to keep on with clergy costs, maintenance, repairs and some upgrades. We believe that if all parishioners with a job and income, married or single, reach $500 to $960 average contributions, the church will continue to grow and expand, not only financially but socially and spiritually. Of course, our margins or increases are still modest and can be better. We encourage, on this occasion, our parishioners to use the church envelopes, for their collections and donations, for more transparency and effectiveness. They will receive at the end of the year a church receipt of the total of their support to the church. Many base their Sunday collection contribution on their job one hour income per week. Our appreciations go to our generous donors who constantly support the mission of the church, and the participation of the volunteers, too.
