Giving
Explore the various ways you can donate towards making the everyday work of this church possible.
When you give to St. Peter’s you support our liturgies, events, ministries and programs in their commitment to our Mission Statement. The community and staff of St. Peter’s extends their grateful thanks for your generous support!
Online Recurring Giving
Through Faith Direct you can make all of your contributions to St. Peter the Apostle via automatic payment from your checking account or credit card — just as you may do now with your mortgage, household bills, and other monthly payments. This is the most streamlined, cost-effective, environmentally-friendly way for you to give donations. Visit the FAQs to learn more.
One-Time Gifts
Cash, checks and offering envelopes can be used to give through the collection baskets that come around at all Masses. Offering envelopes are available by request only for parishioners, and the form below can also be used to request receiving, discontinuing, or updating your address for offering envelopes.
One-time gifts can also be accepted online through Venmo or FaithDirect (no account required).
The Heritage Fund
The Heritage Fund is a way to donate to St. Peter’s to meet specific parish needs that the Sunday collection cannot support. The funding it receives will help to keep St. Peter’s as the rock on which others can build their faith.
-
The fund will maintain a list of projects and things that need funding beyond what the Sunday collection can support such as unexpected repairs to energy bills for the church grounds and growing and improving our St. Peter’s community experience.
Our “Wish List” for 2024 includes:
Developing Liturgy of the Word for Children Program
Repair windows in Parish Center and new treatments
Increased communication of parish events
New couches for the Youth Room
Unexpected parish expenses
Professional staff development
New lighting for the parking lot
Strengthen security measures
-
As good stewards of God’s gift of treasure from you, St. Peter’s plans and saves for the future by setting aside reserves to cover maintenance and repairs, and for unanticipated drops in Sunday collections. But like the rest of the community, St. Peter’s has needs that require funding beyond what the weekly collection can support.
-
This fund does not need to be assessed by the Archdiocese.
