Donations & Almsgiving

Donations & Almsgiving & Special Collections: When we share gifts or charity with those in need, we’re acknowledging the fact that we’re not in this alone, that the things that we own are meant for others.
Almsgiving is valuable because we’re members of a Mystical Body. I can never say that your suffering is not mine or that your neediness is not mine. We’re responsible for each other, and giving alms is a very concrete way to acknowledge that. In the Gospel of Luke (Luke 11:37-41) Jesus declares the value of almsgiving: “As to what is within, give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you.” Give alms! As you love through tangible acts, you will come to believe more deeply and to enter more fully into friendship with God. Belief in God is strengthened not so much from intellectual effort as from moral action. Almsgiving is also tied to the corporal and spiritual works of mercy, which every Catholic is obligated to practice every day.
