Tithing

St. Victoria has a generous history of being a tithing parish.  On tithing weekends, St. Victoria tithes 10% of its collection to a charitable organization.  Since the program’s inception in 1999, St. Victoria has tithed over $513,000 to a variety of organizations.  It is through this tithe that your regular Sunday contribution assists in furthering the work of the larger church.  It is our way of making a return to the Lord, the giver of all good gifts.

St. Victoria’s Tithing Program was featured in the August 10, 2010 issue of The Catholic Spirit.
