Stewardship (aka Annual Giving)
Each autumn, St. Brendan's asks its members to make a financial commitment – a pledge – to support our church, our mission, and our ministries. These contributions provide the majority of our income and, because they are predictable, allow the Vestry to construct a realistic budget and manage our financial resources throughout the year.
What is a pledge?
A pledge card signals your intention to donate a specific amount of money to the church during the coming year. On a spiritual level, pledging is a way to put your faith into action. You are making a personal commitment to share your own blessings and participate in the life of the church. Without such contributions, we could not fulfill the mission to which God has called us.
Of course, life can be unpredictable, and St. Brendan’s will understand if circumstances make it impossible for you to fulfil your pledge.
