Stewardship and the Lord's Church
Giving our offerings reflects a grateful heart that wants to give back to God a portion of what He has given us; in reality, what is already His. This is our opportunity to show God that He is first in our lives. Giving is a reminder that God is the supplier of everything we have. It is also God’s personal invitation to an outpouring of His blessings in your life.
At Elgin Roman Catholic Family of Parishes, we are focused on one goal: changing lives… one person at a time. The simple fact, however, is that the Church cannot do this without financial resources. God has directed that each church is to be funded by the offerings of those who are a part of that Parish. Simply put: Our giving makes an eternal difference.

Donation Options
1. Automated Through Your Bank
You can set up an automatic, repeating payment through your bank. It’s the best way to give for several reasons:- It makes giving a priority because you set it up to give first instead of what is left over.
- It helps you stay consistent in your giving, even when you are away.
- It’s a free service to you and it doesn’t cost the church anything to process.
Please contact the office for help to get you set up.
