"For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be." – Luke 12:34

Giving is an expression of our discipleship. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are called to a spirit of generosity. As grateful stewards, we realize that all we are and all we have is gift. And with blessings comes responsibility. We share a common belief that we should return to the Lord a generous portion of what God has given to us.

Annual Covenant Sunday
In the fall of each year, every household is asked to make a financial commitment to Holy Family Church and to be faithful to that covenant throughout the year. Your regular weekly/monthly offering supports the parish operating budget; helps sustain our liturgical, educational, and outreach ministries; and enables us to plan wisely for the future.

Offering Envelopes
Registered parishioners receive a packet of offering envelopes each month along with a communication about a parish ministry, program or activity. The use of offering envelopes is a "win - win" situation. It enables our staff to more effectively manage parish financial resources and offers you the benefit of an accurate record of your annual giving. For your convenience, you may also arrange for automatic, electronic giving.

Automatic Giving
To help you plan your giving, we offer several convenient means of automatic giving:

• Instruct your bank to send your regular offering check to Holy Family every month. (No fee charged to Holy Family Church.)
• Sign up for Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) ($2.50 fee per transaction charged to Holy Family). To arrange for EFT, complete the Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) Authorization Form. You decide whether your gift is made on the 1st or the 20th of the month.

• Do online giving.  This is a convenient way to donate any time and anywhere.  Once you are in the Holy Family website, look for the “Donate” button on the left side of the page.  Click on that button, and a donation page will appear that will guide you through the whole process.  You can give using your checking, savings, or credit card account.  All the information is secure and handled through Vanco, a secure donor-managed payment provider.  We get a variety of reports that will assure the proper handling of your donation.

Benefits for You and Holy Family

• You have an opportunity to plan your giving in a thoughtful manner and to make your gift from the “first fruits” of your financial resources.
• You will no longer have to write weekly checks or be faced with the handling of these checks.

• Holy Family benefits from your regular, consistent giving. 

• With online giving, you can give instantly and easily when Holy Family and its needs come to mind.

Holy Family Church Endowment Funds
Holy Family Church established two endowment trust funds in March 2001.  The first one is the Parish Endowment Trust Fund and its purpose is “Solely to perpetuate, support, and uphold the work of Holy Family Parish, South Pasadena.”  Through generous donations from the people and friends of Holy Family, we will be able to support our many ministries.  This fund will also enable Holy Family to care for and safeguard its historic church building. 

The second fund is the Education Endowment Trust Fund.  Its purpose is “Solely to perpetuate, support, and uphold the work of Holy Family School, Religious Education Program and additional Educational Programs for Children.”  This fund will assure the continued education and religious formation of our children.

By supporting one or both of these funds, you are ensuring that the legacy of our vibrant faith-filled parish will be enjoyed by future generations.

Planned Giving
There are many opportunities to share your financial resources with Holy Family while securing your own financial future as well. Giving to the future of our parish assures that the vitality of Holy Family, which means so much to us today, will continue long into the twenty-first century. For guidance about how to include Holy Family in your financial and estate planning, advice from your financial and legal advisors is essential. The leadership of Holy Family welcomes your inquiry and will be happy to assist you in creating a giving plan according to your wishes.

Should you wish to include Holy Family Church in your estate planning, please note that our correct legal title is:
"The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Los Angeles, A Corporation Sole for the benefit of Holy Family Church, South Pasadena."
