Please Remember St. Luke Parish When Considering A Year-end Gift
Your generosity has been a blessing to St. Luke Parish throughout this past year. Your continued support allows us to help our church family and spread God's Word throughout the community.
As you begin year-end tax planning, take advantage of the charitable tax deduction for gifts made before December 31 and consider the variety of gift options available to you. Your gift to our parish can make a great difference to us and help you as well. E-Giving is a convenient way to make your gift to St. Luke Parish. If you choose to make a cash donation, please prepare your check and mail it so that your envelope is postmarked or received by the Church Office by December 31 to qualify as a gift in the year 2018. Contributions received in the offertory at Mass on Monday, January 1st will be treated as 2019 gifts.
To make a gift of stock or other traded securities, please contact Kristen Barreto in the parish office at (904) 282-0439 or bookkeeper@stlukesparish.org. As always, please work closely with your tax and legal advisors to determine how any particular strategy will affect your overall tax situation.

Prayerful

The spirituality of stewardship should be the foundation of your discernment on what and how to give.  We are not just created by God, but for God.  Examine how you have been blessed and pray for His guidance in making your decisions.  Prayer will support the conversion necessary to live stewardship as a disciple of Christ.

Planned

Stewardship of your time, talent and treasure requires thought, planning and commitment.  Stewardship will help you arrive at the right use of money for your family.  Your commitment to your parish needs to be integrated into other financial decisions and incorporated into the regular family budget.  Include your whole family in the dialogue about a commitment to give.

Proportionate 

Consider tithing your prayer time as well as financial gifts to the parish.  Start by assessing what you are giving now and reflect on how you are sharing those gifts.  Some Catholics are considering the biblical tithe (10%) as a guideline in determining the amount of their gift to their parish, and what amount to give to diocesan charities, and other community charities.
