How Much Should I Give?
The Saint Euphemia Stewardship Program was established to cover the operating expenses of our church. Your pledge is what you decide it to be, based on the ability of your family and household. Traditionally, the recommended minimum is considered 10% of one’s annual income, however, this is different for each person and family, and one should always consult with the parish priest to discuss a healthy, obtainable percentage. Some members are able to offer 10% each year, others are able to offer more than 10%, but there are also those who can only offer 2 or 3% annually. The pledge card for the year is a recommendation, but not a requirement for membership or attendance at the St. Euphemia Mission!
There are multiple options for donations: the tithing (cash) box at church, Venmo, Paypal, checks, and online links to donation portals for one-time or recurring tithes on a weekly/monthly/annual basis.
How do I Pledge?
You can pledge online. You can also download and complete the pledge card above, and then return it to the main office in person or send it via mail.

How Confidential is my Pledge?
Only the Parish Priest and authorized persons of the Parish Council have access to the pledge records. All records are kept in the strictest confidence.
What if after I make my Pledge, sickness, or loss of job, or another misfortune occurs?
Your pledge is not a contract! A parishioner may at any time make a private phone call or write a confidential letter to the parish priest to lower or discontinue their pledge until circumstances allow the original pledge to resume.
