TIME...

We are called by the Gospel to give generously of our time to our community by volunteering to help others. We can share our time with family, friends or neighbors. We can share our time with any ministry in our parish.

 TALENT...

We have all been given a special talent by God. Jesus said "the gift you have received, give as a gift." Your talent can be shared in any way you wish or with a ministry in your church.

TREASURE...

The word of God asks that we become sacrificial givers. Both the old and the new Testaments speak of the tithe. The key to tithing is thinking of your gifts as returning to Our Lord a share of everything He gives you.

Gifts From Current Income - An individual may choose to give from his or her current income. This gift is tax deductible. The higher the donor's taxable income, the greater the proportionate tax savings. Donations may be arranged so that a gift is payable over a period of time.

Life Insurance - A donor may make Saint Matthew the beneficiary of a life insurance policy. The premiums paid are tax deductible from current income.

Gifts of Securities - Stocks, bonds and other securities may be donated at today's market value. Properly handled, this procedure can take very favorable advantage of the capital gains tax laws.

Trust - A donor may establish a trust with the income going to Saint Matthew Catholic Church and the principle reverting to the donor's heirs, or a trust with the principle going to Saint Matthew and the income remaining with the donor.

Gifts of Property - Real estate and personal property may be donated to Saint Matthew. Capital gains tax laws, as they pertain to charitable gifts, can also make this type of giving very attractive.

Memorials - All gifts may be established in the name of a loved one. Missals, Missalettes, Choir Chairs, Statues, Priests Vestments and a variety of other memorials are available for specified donations.
