Employee Giving Campaign

Many businesses will begin their Employee Giving Campaigns this month and continue to solicit donations

through fall months. Employee Giving/United Way campaigns give us an opportunity to direct our donations

to the charities that best represent our beliefs, interests and social concerns. Ask your employer for a pledge card and consider donating all or part of your United

Way contribution to the House of Charity, here’s how; In the Donor Choice Section, designate the

“House of Charity” Ask to be acknowledged; This ensures our

parish will receive credit toward our House of Charity goal

If the agency requests a code for your donor choice…these codes may be found on the House of Charity website under “Employee Giving Campaign” and in the Catholic Star Herald

What Do Stephen Ministers Do?Stephen Ministers are members of St. Clare of Assisi Parish who have gone through 50 hours of training to provide confidential, one-to-one Christian care to people who are facing a crisis or simply going

through a tough time. A Stephen Minister meets with his or her care receiver once a week for around an hour to listen, care, pray and provide emotional and spiritual encouragement. Men are matched with male Stephen Ministers and women are matched with female Stephen Ministers. To find out more about how someone you know could be matched with a Stephen Minister, talk with one of our Stephen Ministry Leaders.
