Make a pledge and donate

Pledging to the parish is categorically different from giving to charities. Both involve the donation of money, or time, or talent, but what such giving signifies is totally different.  When we pledge and give to our parish we do have in mind the good works the parish does (formation, fellowships, outreach). All these are good and important. But prior to all of those good works our parish holds open the place and time and historic liturgy for our encounter with God. This encounter with God touches us at a depth that addresses our whole selves, and includes the whole of everything, all our living, all our dying, our loved ones and our enemies: the cosmos. Pledging is not about supporting a good work, it is about saying Yes to the God of Jesus Christ who comes to us in the Holy Eucharist, towards which all of parish life is ordered and from which all of parish life flows.
