We greatly appreciate the generosity that our parishioners show St. Jude through their giving of time, talents and treasures. We’re blessed to have many active parishioners and a vibrant community. Tithing (“treasures”) is our main source of income and directly funds many important things like running the facilities, staffing, faith formation, fellowship events, community outreach, charitable activities, supporting our parish school All Saints Academy and a whole lot more!
We’re happy to provide you with several ways you can give to the parish: the traditional envelope system, electronic tithing and online giving (our newest option). We really encourage you to sign up for online giving. It’s FREE. Online giving especially helps us during the summer months when many families are traveling on vacation or taking long weekends away. With scheduled online giving your tithing remains consistent, just like our bills!
Through ParishSOFT Online Giving, you can make all of your contributions to St. Jude via automatic payment from your checking account or credit/debit card – just as you may do now with your mortgage, household bills, and other monthly payments. This is a great way to simplify your giving – and it’s the most cost-effective, environmentally-friendly way for us to receive your gifts. Plus, you’ll have access to your account to see your giving history, make any modifications to the amount you want to give, give to other campaigns, pay registration fees and sign up for events… all right at your fingertips 24/7.
Catholic Services Appeal
The Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) is the annual diocesan collection which supports the programs and ministries of our diocese so that we may continue the teaching, healing ministry of Jesus through: Priestly Vocations, Catholic School Education, Cultural Ministries, Catholic Charities West Michigan, Catechesis, and Communication. Your gift changes lives for the better, impacting 175,114 Catholics and thousands more in our community and beyond.
The annual CSA goal for each parish is calculated based on a percentage of their annual offertory and ensuring that each parish provides direct support to Catholic schools in the diocese.
Your donation to the CSA can be done directly through the Diocese of Grand Rapids CSA website.
