December 8, 2009

Since January 1, 2000, St. Brendan's has tithed 10% of our parish income each week. This tithed money goes towards the prescribed Archidiocesan collections, the support of Catholic Schools (popularly known as the "school tax"), and other worthy local concerns decided upon by the pastor and the parish council. the following is a report on how the tithing program has gone in the stated fiscal years (July 1 - June 30). Many worthy charities have been helped on account of the generosity of the parishioners of St. Brendan's Parish.
