The best type of contribution is the one that meets your goals and objectives while supporting the needs of our vital ministries.

We invite you to explore the giving options below and choose the gift type that best fits your needs. You can also learn more about our giving societies, which recognize donors based on both the frequency and advanced giving amounts of their contributions.

Some donors also find tax advantages in making gifts of stock or IRA rollovers. Learn more below.

Preferred Ways to Give

Each donor has a preferred way in which they give. Some prefer to make a single, one-time gift today, others prefer to plan for a gift in the future, and some want to establish an ongoing contribution.

Who is Blessed Carlo Acutis?
Carlo Acutis, who passed away at just 15 years old from leukemia, was a remarkable young man known for his deep faith and his extraordinary talent with technology. Often called the “patron saint of the Internet,” Carlo used his computer skills to create a website cataloging miracles and supported local Catholic ministries online. His dedication was a modern witness to the Gospel. When he was diagnosed with leukemia, he offered his suffering for Pope Benedict XVI and the Church, and expressed his love for St. Francis by choosing to be buried in Assisi. Declared Venerable in 2018, Carlo’s path to sainthood continues with verified miracles attributed to his intercession, including the life-saving healing of a Brazilian man in 2020.
