Supporting Your Parish

By giving to Lumen Christi, you are affirming that your faith is a priority.  It is a spiritual act of gratitude and commitment to the Church.  It also makes you an active participant in the saving mission of our parish.  Our ministries depend on regular and faithful giving

to be able to carry on their important work.

(i.e., School, Catholic Formation, Human Concerns, etc.) as well as lighting, heat,

snowplowing, etc. Prayerfully consider contributing 2 or 3% of your household income or a suggested minimum of $1,000 annually. Based on our parish expenses and the number of households, our costs are approximately $1,000 per family.
