Tithing At St. Philip Neri

"For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.” — Matthew 6:21

As Catholics, we are challenged to choose stewardship as a lifestyle based on our baptismal call. The Bible tells us that everything — yes, everything — is a gift from God and that we are called to be good stewards (managers), not owners, of the resources entrusted to us.

Tithing is one way we acknowledge God’s provision in our lives and exercise good management. St. Philip Neri Church is a tithing parish — 10 percent of our offertory collection is given to charitable causes. This is possible because of the generous financial gifts of our parishioners. For this, we are truly grateful.

For the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2021, St. Philip Neri Church’s tithing was in excess of $160,000. Here is a percentage breakdown of our parish tithing donations for the 2020/2021 fiscal year:
