Annual Giving
Why Your Support
of St. Paul’s
Is Important
Every year St. Paul’s must raise virtually every
dollar we spend because, unlike many churches, we do
not have a sizable endowment — a kind of "rainy-day" reserve
fund, built up over time — to draw on for support
of our programs and ministries.
Instead, the generous gifts
of our members and friends, and monies raised via our various parish
events,
help us to live up to our call to serve Nantucket Island,
and the world. These gifts are critically important to
us.
Important ways to give to St. Paul’s:
- Annual Giving (see below)
- Memorial Gifts and Tributes
- A Planned
Gift
Annual Giving
Our budget, our operations, and our mission depend on predictable
generosity. By making an annual pledge or gift, we are answering
God's call to support the ministries that educate us,
spiritually prepare us, and improve our local and global
community. As St. Paul’s assumes this role, our friends and parishioners have pledged about $ 220,000 to help support our operations, programs and ministries in 2009. Generous as this is, it will cover only about 43% of our operating expenses.
Please contact the Parish Office if you are interested in making a pledge or a donation to St. Paul's.
