How You Can Help

At this important moment of our history, let us keep in mind the many blessings the Lord has given us. Recognizing that all of our material goods are gifts from the Lord, we are asked in the Gospel to give back a portion of these gifts in thanksgiving for God’s generosity and goodness to us. Your gift to this campaign is an opportunity to leave a legacy for generations to come. Scripture tells us that Christian stewardship goes beyond our giving from our surplus. Stewardship requires a gift made from substance.

Building Faith and Future seeks sacrificial five year pledges. Gifts can be accepted in a variety of forms, with an emphasis on those that can be used immediately. All gifts are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by the law.

Pledges

Pledges payable over five years allow donors to consider more substantial commitments than are possible with one-time cash gifts. Donors who pledge may determine payment schedules to meet their own charitable or tax needs. Payments can be made by check, credit card, or electronic fund transfer.

We now offer Online Giving for members who prefer to donate through automatic draft. Online Giving is a secure and personalized way to give to the church. Sign up for Online Giving by clicking here.

Planned Gifts

Remembering St. John Baptist Catholic Church in your will is the most common form of planned giving. A percentage of your estate of would be a fitting way to remember your parish and could reduce your estate taxes. Please contact your attorney for more information.

Matching Gifts

If your company has a matching gift program, you may be able to enhance the impact of your gift by requesting a matching gift form from your company and including it with your pledge card. Check with your employer for a tax deductable donation.

Securities

Gifts of stock to Building Faith and Future can be a source of significant tax benefit to the donor by eliminating capital gains taxes. Any gift of stock will be sold as soon as it is received and the value of the gift will be determined at the time of transfer.
