This year the COVID Pandemic has impacted us all in unexpected and dramatic ways. Across the board, giving is down and uncertainty continues to climb as this pandemic continues. This Tuesday, December 1st is a worldwide day dedicated to giving back and celebrating generosity. #GivingTuesday, is built on the gratitude felt during the Thanksgiving holiday and it brings together the collective power of people to encourage and amplify small acts of kindness - little gestures of love which Pope Francis encourages.
On #GivingTuesday we are asking the entire St. Gerald Catholic Church & School community to PRAY, GIVE AND SHARE. Additionally, you can feel good about being a thoughtful steward of your resources and supporting your parish and school community. #GivingTuesday harnesses the potential of social media and the generosity of people around the world to bring about real change in their communities; providing a platform to encourage the donation of time, treasure, and talents to address local needs.
Your generous support on #GivingTuesday will help us to continue to provide the services to help us grow in faith and will help to adapt to an ever-changing world. We have set a goal to raise $5,000 to help offset deficits from the last few months. Donations are accepted beginning November 16.
There are three ways to donate:
1. Click here to donate thru GiveCentral
2. Click here to donate thru Facebook
3. Text GiveTues to (708)998-4841 NOTE: First time donors will be prompted to sign-up through a secure giving page where you can sign up before making a donation.
Thank you so much for helping us reach our parish goal!
