Why We Give
Through Baptism we are all united and part of the Christian faith worldwide. The Parish Giving Initiative is a practical tool for enabling donors to support their church in the most effective way. The initiative supports parishes to both reduce administration and increase giving and ministry to the world.

The Offertory Custom at Saint Miriam
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]
Giving Guide
We have added a Giving Guide, or 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!
Our 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. This concept is also applied 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 Contact Us. Thank you for your support.
