Questions and Answers

What is the 2012 St. Dominic Parish Treasure Appeal?

It is the annual renewal of stewardship commitments to St. Dominic Catholic Parish for 2012.

What commitments will we be asked to prayerfully consider making?

To seek Christ, know Christ, and become Christ, each one for the sake of all by: ·        

• Actively participating in the Liturgy of the Word and the Eucharist and Sacraments

• Offering opportunities for lifelong faith formation and ongoing conversion

• Extending ourselves in hospitality and evangelization

• Serving human concerns of persons within and outside our parish family

• Sharing in stewardship with our time, talent, and treasure

What were the 2011 fiscal year results?

In March of 2011, with stewardship below necessary budget levels, we communicated a 12 week goal.  Your generous giving, coupled with the reduction in expenses, allowed St. Dominic Parish to finish the fiscal year with a $27,000 net operating profit.  This surplus has allowed for the replenishment of certain areas such as building maintenance, tuition assistance, and technology advancements.  We are grateful to have the surplus funds available for these critical needs.       

What increases are parishioners asked to prayerfully consider for regular envelope giving?

We are aware that financial challenges remain for some, so please know that we are grateful for whatever financial commitment you can make.  If your finances allow, please consider:

• Making a pledge for the first time

• Increasing your current contributions by reflecting on the Gift-Income Comparison Chart

• Redirecting a portion of the amount you committed annually to the concluding Faith in our Future Campaign to your 2012 Treasure Appeal pledge

Thank you for supporting St. Dominic Parish with a grateful heart!
