'Where your treasure is, there will your heart also be.'
As children of God and disciples of Christ, we are linked together in a community gathered around the altar of Eucharist. Everything we have is a gift from God. We acknowledge God’s gifts with gratitude; cultivate them wisely; and share them lovingly.
At. John Chrysostom Parish, we serve our brothers and sisters joyfully, support them generously,
worship gratefully, and steward carefully. Our parish is where people meet Jesus,
through the Eucharist and through others, and where lives are changed.As parishioners, we are called to support the spiritual and material needs of our parish
and one another. As baptized Catholics, we are called to build the Kingdom here in our community. Thus, our parishioners feed the homeless and hungry, visit the ill and homebound, clothe and shelter the needy, comfort the bereaved, welcome the stranger, and gather to worship and celebrate the Eucharist as a faith community.Your consistent personal and financial support
are essential to ensuring a strong, healthy future
for St. John Chrysostom Parish and its mission.Giving draws us closer to God, by investing in what matters to God; and expresses our love for others by providing them with critical material and spiritual support.
We are grateful for your donation and assure you of transparent and meticulous stewardship of your gifts. We invite you to review our latest Annual Financial Report here.
For any questions about our financial stewardship at any time, please email Rosemary Endres, Parish Business Manager, or call (610) 874-3418 x 108.
“I will not sacrifice to the LORD my God offerings which cost me nothing.”2 Samuel 24:24
How We Give
At Nativity, we frame our giving around the concept of the four P’s
Planned
Growing in generosity means being intentional about our giving. Planning our giving means that we intentionally set aside money from our budget to give away. An efficient way to plan our giving is to give electronically.Priority
Making giving a priority means giving it first place in our budgets. Growing in generosity requires that we don’t give leftovers. We give our “first fruits” back to God.Percentage
In planning our gifts, we pick a percentage to give away, keeping in mind the biblical standard of the tithe or giving ten percent back to God. Identify a percentage of your income to give away.Progressive
Our goal over time is to increase the percentage of our income that we give away. As God blesses us financially we recognize that we have been blessed to be a blessing.
