Church Donation and Your Taxes Sometimes parishioners find it advantageous to make a donation to the parish at year’s end thus saving a portion of what is due at income tax time. We welcome such gifts, however keep in mind that we must receive the gift by December 31
st for the donation to be included
in your 2016 tax return. The parish will send out a statement of your contributions by the end of January. Note that it is not necessary to request your contribution statement. You will receive yours in the mail by the end of January.
Parish Drawing We have sold all the tickets and are now in the process of distributing them. Anyone who would like to pick them up at the rectory office may do so. Thank you for your support. Winners will be in the next week bulletin.
