Year-End Stewardship

Year-End Giving 

As the calendar year nears its end, please help us by fulfilling your 2023 stewardship commitment and/or by providing Nativity of Our Lord with a special year-end gift.  Thank you for your generosity!
 

Christmas Stewardship | Sun.-Mon., Dec. 24-25

We are grateful to our many parishioners and friends who offer a special Christmas donation above and beyond their weekly stewardship contribution.

Even while some of our Christmas liturgies fall on a Sunday this year, we would like to invite you to again consider an extraordinary contribution in honor of the Nativity of Our Lord, our patronal feast day. Thank you!
 

Gifts of Stock and Retirement Distributions

If you would like to give the gift of stock, IRA distributions, or would otherwise like to make our parish a designated beneficiary, please call Parish Business Administrator Laura Barr at (651) 696-5423, or Joyce Kotta, parish accounting, at (651) 696-5436 for assistance.

You can also contact the Catholic Community Foundation to learn more about maximizing your charitable giving by calling (651) 389-0300, or visit ccf-mn.org.  
 

Deadlines for Gifting

December 30-31 is the last Sunday offertory collection of the year.

To take advantage of a tax deduction for your 2023 contributions, all financial contributions must be received by the parish office or, if mailed, postmarked on or before next Sunday, December 31.

Anything received (or postmarked) beginning Monday, January 1 will be recorded as a 2024 donation.
 

Online Giving

We are pleased to offer electronic giving right on our parish website at nativitystpaul.org/online-giving.  

The link above will bring up a form to give to our general parish “Stewardship” fund, as well as links to donate to 2nd Collections and other targeted giving options. 

Nativity of Our Lord simply could not carry out its mission without our faithful parishioners and generous donors. Thank you! 
 

Catholic Services Appeal

We have reached our 2023 Catholic Services Appeal parish goal, which funds 20 Designated Ministries Archdiocesan-wide. Half of additional donations are returned to the parish to fund our ministries and operations.

If you still wish to donate, envelopes must be postmarked en route for CSA offices by next Sunday, December 31 to be eligible for this Parish Sharing incentive. 

Find more information at nativitystpaul.org/catholic-services-appeal, or give directly at csafspm.org/online-giving, marking your parish as Nativity of Our Lord-St. Paul. Thank you!
