At its core, tithing is an acknowledgement that the gifts or talents we have were entrusted to us by God, and are intended to be used for His glory and to spread the gospel. Tithing allows parishes to meet day-to-day needs, allocate funds for emergencies and fund future projects. It is understood, that as a community of faith, we are to provide for the needs of the Church. Fr. Hector Vega recommends that we fulfill the needs by tithing 5% of our income to the parish, 4% to charities of our choice, and 1% to the Diocese.

Listed below are tithing guidelines that may help you in deciding your recommended weekly sacrifice to the parish.
 

Thank you letter for the chairs 

Excerpts from my letter to the pastor in Gaithersburg, MD 

I want to write to you on behalf of all of us here at St. Paul parish in Austin to express our deepest appreciation to you and your parishioners for your most generous gift of your Church chairs to our parish. We hope and pray that you are pleased with your new pews giving your Church more beauty, dignity and comfort.
 
I must say that I am deeply impressed with Divine Providence making it possible for us to receive your gift. When Fr. Jesus Farras visited our parish in January of this year, he heard about our plans to install a new floor and get new chairs. He men­tioned to me that you were considering giving your chairs away and to replace them with pews. I marveled at the fact that your chairs were the same as ours here for the presider and altar servers, wooden chairs with red upholstery.
 
In preparation for the arrival of these new chairs in June I encouraged our parishion­ers to see this gift of Divine Providence as an invitation to not only renew the physi­cal Church building, but also to work on an inner renewal as well.
 
We want to offer to the Lord and to the Blessed Mother our effort to live our faith with greater love; to change our attitudes where they need changing and to renew our family life. Installing new floors and getting new chairs needs to be accompanied with concrete signs of love in daily life.
 
On my part I want to assure you and your parishioners of our grateful prayers for the needs and intentions of your congregation. May you be richly rewarded for your gen­erosity. 
Again, thank you and many blessings in return. 
Yours in Christ and Mary, 

 Fr. Gerold Langsch - Pastor
Fr. Johnson Nellissery - Associate Pastor

Our Welcome Ministry encourages you to join our parish.  What does parish membership offer?

Parish membership allows us to encounter Jesus.  Jesus promised us he would join us when we gather together - “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Matt 18:20

Parish membership offers us a spiritual family where we encounter fellowship and community..  St. Paul said “Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, as indeed you do.” 1 Thes 5:11

Registration forms are available in the foyer.  We are blessed to have you join our St. Paul Family.
