At Saint Miriam, we ask those who believe in us, and attend our services, to be highly committed financially so that our needs are met without having to pressure people, or make a multitude of emergency appeals. We’re all in this together and we believe God can do great things with people who are learning how to give. That is why we don't have an offertory basket or a collection during mass. Your giving is between you and God. In Second Corinthians, we hear,
“But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. [2 Corinthians 9:6-8]
We have added a tithing chart here to give you a guide to help us continue our good work. With your generous support, we will reach out to a broken world and build lasting life!
So, please use the links below to make a one-time gift, or you may also set up a recurring gift to make giving to Saint Miriam effortless. You may also click here to offset our major expenses by making a donation to our Building Fund or making a Memorial Gift to help offset items needed by our parish community.
Your financial gift may be exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(C)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, therefore your gift is tax-deductible to the full extent provided by law. Saint Miriam is a nonprofit religious organization. Our federal tax identification number is 90-0338361. You should consult your financial planner or tax adviser to determine the exact tax advantages of any gift you are considering. We provide a receipt for all online gifts that can be used to claim a tax deduction. If you need a copy of the receipt or need a receipt for your annual giving please call 215-701-4781 x1.
Thank you for all any way you choose to help.
Other Ways You Can Help Our Church:
The Saint Miriam Transparency Policy:
At Saint Miriam, all of our finances run by what we call a ‘transparency policy’; that is, every dollar given by anyone, or any expense, are open for review by our members. We also apply this concept to our standard offering/stipend structure for wedding ceremonies. All of our finances are secured by an off site contracted bookkeeper and audited by a Certified Public Account quarterly. All donations receive an end-of-year statement by Jan 30th of the following year. Any questions, please ask our Development Team members at
. Thank you for your support.
