Give with a
Generous Heart
Your offering sustains the mission of the Church — its worship, its ministry, and its care for the least among us.
“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” — 2 Corinthians 9:7
Why Your Offering Matters
In the spirit of St. Lawrence — who declared the poor and the suffering to be the true treasures of the Church — every peso given to this parish is an act of faith put into action. Giving is not a transaction; it is a participation in God’s work.
The parish relies on the generosity of its parishioners to maintain its worship spaces, support its ministries, care for those in need, and keep its doors open to all who seek God. Your contribution, however small or great, makes this possible.
We are grateful for every act of generosity and are committed to being good stewards of everything entrusted to us.
Sustain Our Worship
Your gifts keep our church maintained, our liturgies beautiful, and our sacraments accessible to all parishioners.
Serve the Vulnerable
A portion of all offerings goes directly to outreach programs for the poor, the sick, and families in crisis in our community.
Form the Next Generation
Your generosity funds catechesis, youth programs, and faith formation for the children and families of our parish.
Preserve Our Heritage
Donations support the care and restoration of our church building — a sacred space belonging to generations past and future.
How Your Gift Helps
Every offering has a real impact. Here is how your donation supports the life and mission of the parish.
Ways to Donate
We offer several convenient ways to share your blessings with the parish — whether in person or online.
Sunday Collection Envelope
The traditional offertory collection is taken at every Mass. Parish envelopes are available at the church entrance and allow you to track your giving throughout the year.
Bank Transfer / GCash
Send your donation directly to the parish account via bank transfer or GCash. Please include your name and the purpose of your donation in the reference field.
Visit the Parish Office
Drop by the parish office during office hours to make your donation in person. Our staff will provide an official receipt and can assist with special intentions or designated gifts.
Mass Intentions
Request a Mass to be offered for a loved one — living or deceased — for a special occasion, healing, or thanksgiving. An offering accompanies the intention.
Pledges & Vows
Make a pledge to the parish for a specific project — a building fund, renovation, or a special ministry program — payable over a period of time you choose.
In-Kind Donations
Donate goods, supplies, or materials to the parish outreach pantry, the parish church, or the catechetical programs. Items in good condition are gratefully accepted.
Mass Intentions
One of the most meaningful ways to honor someone — living or deceased — is to have a Holy Mass offered for them. A Mass intention is a prayer request accompanied by a charitable offering, dedicating that Mass for a specific person or purpose.
The parish accepts Mass intentions for healing, thanksgiving, the repose of the soul, birthdays, anniversaries, and any special occasion of faith.
Suggested offerings may vary. Please confirm current rates with the parish office.
How to Request a Mass Intention
For remote or online requests, contact the parish office via Facebook or phone.
