Tithing Committee  
 The Tithing Committee selects the organizations which receive 10% of each week's actual "sacrificial giving" contributions from our parishioners. The mission of this committee is to "Feed the Hungry" & "Challenge Poverty." Therefore, the decisions that are made are reflective of this gospel command and mirror the parish's "Stewardship" commitment.

In the last fiscal year, our support of the "poorest of the poor" resulted in the distribution to various local, regional groups requiring our thoughtful and prayerful support.
