Stewardship is returning a portion of our gifts to God. The gifts we return are our time, our talent and our treasure. 

God calls us to be generous with all our gifts, including our treasure.  Our faith teaches us through Scripture: “Honor the Lord with your wealth, with first fruits …” (Proverbs 3:9)

Now more than ever, St. Mary Magdalen Church depends on the generosity of parishioners and guests to fulfill the mission to be the presence of Christ to all we meet.  Your gifts help sustain this mission and the ministries of our parish.   

• Our Online Giving Program can take a one time or recurring offertory donation using credit cards or bank accounts.  We encourage you to give a recurring gift that allows you to give without the hassle of remembering checks, cash, and envelopes.

• If you are more comfortable with the traditional automatic withdrawals from your bank account, that form is also available below.

Sign up to have your offertory automatically withdrawn from your checking or savings account (weekly or monthly) by submitting a completed Authorization for Electronic Contribution form to the parish office.  This form can also be used to change the date or amount of your automatic withdrawal.  Completed forms can be mailed to the parish office or emailed directly to our Parish Office Coordinator. 

When you register as a parishioner at SMM you are mailed offertory envelopes unless you have requested to make donations through automatic withdrawal.  Your parishioner ID/ envelope number will be printed on the offertory envelopes. If you are currently not receiving envelopes and would like to, please call the parish office at 652-6800 and leave a message on the machine with your name, phone number, and request.

To make an online donation in honor or memory of someone, visit our Memorial Donation page.  Here we will gather all the necessary information and once received we will mail a letter out to whomever you indicate to let them know of the donation made in honor or memory of the person indicated.

Understanding that during this time not everyone may feel comfortable or be able to come into the parish office, we are now offering the option to set up a mass card intention over the phone and make your donation online.  Please follow the procedure below:

1. First call the parish office at (302) 652-6800 and ask to set up a mass intention over the phone. 
2. With the help of the parish receptionist you will select an available date, confirm the name spelling for the intention, provide your name, address and phone number.
3. Once your mass intention has been confirmed, you will be directed our Mass Intention Donation page to make your donation online.
4. The mass card will then be mailed to your house for you to give to the intended recipient.

Jesus commands us to care for the sick, cloth the naked, feed the hungry, give shelter to the homeless, visit the prisoner, tend to the needs of the widow and orphan.

St. Vincent dePaul Society is a group of dedication parishioners who tend to these needs in the name of our parish community, supported through the generosity of parishioners via the poor boxes & the money collected from the children’s envelopes.
