AN INVITATION TO TITHE IS FOR EVERYONE
How much should i tithe?
Determining your tithe can often feel uncertain. Historically, the traditional benchmark has been to contribute ten percent of one's income. While this remains a meaningful aspiration, it is neither a rigid requirement nor an absolute ceiling. We simply ask that you keep our parish community in mind as you plan your charitable giving.
In our commitment to transparency, St. Joseph Catholic Church, St. Augustine Catholic Church, and St. Joseph’s Catholic School establish comprehensive annual budgets for each fiscal year, running from July 1 through June 30. To keep you informed, a visual display in the St. Joseph Catholic Church gathering space tracks our annual goals, total donations received, and our current progress. We invite you to stop by and see what we are achieving together.

THE TITHING CALCULATOR IS DESIGNED TO ASSIST YOU IN PLANNING YOUR STEWARDSHIP:
-
Calculate Giving Horizons: Instantly view weekly, monthly, and annual totals for any contribution amount.
-
Understand Asset Allocation: See exactly how your gift is distributed among our church and school funds according to the Standard Distribution Chart.
To ensure your generosity is utilized where it is needed most, once a specific fund reaches its annual goal, subsequent donations are automatically redirected to remaining active funds.
Please utilize this tool if it serves you. If you prefer your current method of giving, we deeply appreciate your continued support. Should you have any questions, our parish office is always here to assist you.
We warmly invite everyone—including our registered parishioners, seasonal visitors, and local businesses—to reach out with your questions or suggestions. Your active involvement is essential as we work together to serve our community and fulfill our shared mission.
