Donations

Fundraising is an important part of our parish's annual Habitat project. Our church has made a financial commitment to Habitat for a portion of the cost to build the home. Whether or not you are able to donate volunteer hours, please consider making a donation to the Habitat build.

Any donation can be made a significant part of your family's Lenten sacrifice. For example, instead of going to the movies or eating out one night, you may want to take the money you would have used for that activity and donate it towards the house. Your family would then be able to see the tangible fruits of their sacrifice when we give the home to the new owners on Good Friday. This can be a powerful use of your charitable dollars.

You can make your donation by placing it in the famous "pink house" or by putting it in the collection basket in an envelope marked "Habitat."
