Giving to Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church

Sharing God’s Gifts

We are asked to share and use the gifts that our generous God has given to us in love and justice. The parish serves as a focal point for coming together as disciples of Jesus. As disciples of Jesus, we are called to a spirit of generosity. It is in the parish that we join with one another to celebrate faith, share in the Eucharist, and become empowered to be Eucharist (the Body of Christ) in the world. Our parish is central to our gathering for prayer and worship, celebrating the gift of each other. We have an important responsibility to Assumption parish to plan ways we can use and share our gifts here. Our gifts enable us to share the word, be nurtured by the sacraments and to build a community of faith. All that we are and have is a gift and we should return a generous portion of what God has given to us. There are many methods by which you can donate to Assumption Church.

Donations:

Offering Envelopes
Registered parishioners receive a packet of offering envelopes for each month. The use of offering envelopes is an easy way to contribute to Assumption Church and the various special collections. It enables us 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 online giving.

Cars 4 Causes
You can donate your car, boat or RV to Assumption Church through the Cars 4 Causes program. Assumption Church does not accept direct donations of cars; however, you can donate your car to Cars 4 Causes and designate Assumption BVM Church to receive the proceeds. The Cars 4 Causes Vehicle Donation Program is a California not–for–profit, public benefit corporation which distributes money to qualified charities. Please consider Assumption Church as the recipient of the proceeds, if you donate your car in the future.

Remembrances
A wonderful way to remember a loved one or special friend is by making a memorial or tribute gift. Masses and candles can be offered for that special someone. Contact the rectory office at (626) 792 – 1343.

Online Giving Through Purchases
You could designate Assumption Church as the beneficiary of a percent of your purchases when made through IGive.com or through eScrip.com. There is no fee and the purchase price is the same as when you order directly from the merchant’s website. You can order from more than 400 merchants that will donate part of their receipts to your designated charity, Assumption Church.

Insurance Policy
If you own a paid-up insurance policy that is no longer required for its originally intended purpose, you may wish to make a contribution of the policy to the parish or school. Contact your insurance representative and ask about the tax advantages of such a gift.
