Time is our most valuable commodity. The church traditionally has asked for an hour of our time each week in worshiping God at Sunday Mass. Today, we seek a full and active participation at worship which often involves personal preparation time, as well as help with the ministries essential to our rich liturgical life. At the Church of the Little Flower, we seek more than this bare minimum gift of an hour for the Lord on Sunday. A truly sacrificial offering of time will normally mean some further involvement in the life of the community. Our gift of time can also be used to meet the needs of our parish community.

Talents are special gifts that are uniquely ours. We hold the conviction that each and every member of our parish has been given gifts from God for the enrichment of our community. We welcome initiatives and encourage parishioners to step forward with their special skills.

Honor and Memorial Gifts

Gifts made in honor or memory of an individual are considered unrestricted gifts and are used for the immediate needs of Little Flower Parish. The opportunity to honor or remember friends, family, and loved ones are many and include holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions. Also, many gifts are made when a person dies, as a tribute to that person’s generosity. These gifts are usually cash gifts, but may be given as a planned gift as well.

Outright Gifts

Gifts of cash or securities provide Little Flower with needed financial assistance. Outright gifts have an immediate impact on the parish because they can be used to support a variety of current needs.

Planned Giving -Bequests

One of the simplest ways of creating a planned gift is by including Little Flower Parish in your will or trust. Little Flower is happy to provide you or your adviser with any information you may need in the process of planning your estate.
