The foundation of St. Brigid Parish is supported by the many caring members who have contributed to its life and well-being. Support to our Parish can be done through a number of options giving being one.
Historically, Catholics and others have practiced tithing. The concept reaches as far back as Jacob in Genesis who spoke, “…and of all things that thou shalt give to me, I will offer tithes to thee.” Tithing is the practice of giving away 10% of your income (tithe means “tenth”), usually to a charitable cause. The Catholic Church encourages members, individuals and families, to consider this giving practice.
Below are a variety of ways in which you can contribute to the long-term mission of our Parish. Please consider how you can provide support.
