Give Up Your Envelopes

We invite you to help your parish save money by giving up your offertory envelopes. Enrolling with Faith Direct will provide Holy Family with consistent support and simplify your giving without the wasteful envelopes. If you change from envelopes to electronic giving through Faith Direct, please contact the office to cancel envelopes.

Opportunities To Give

HVAC Campaign
Over the past three years we have experienced numerous, costly problems with our 32 year old HVAC system in our main church. The system is in need of replacement. The last major issue was on this past and very cold Christmas Eve/Christmas Day. The HVAC System froze and left us with no heat in the church. We have started a Campaign to raise the $630,000 needed to replace the system. 

Every dollar given during this two year campaign is "cathedraticum tax free," which means every dollar will go toward the purchase and installation of our new HVAC System. If you would like to make your contribution through Faith Direct, you can contribute to the maintenance collection. If you would like assistance in choosing this option for the campaign, feel free to call the Parish Office. Learn more about this Campaign and contribute here.

Poor Box Donations Through Faith Direct
​Help those in need in South County through Holy Family’s St. Vincent de Paul Society.  You can add a donation weekly or monthly by using this link:  https://membership.faithdirect.net/enroll/MD61 or a one-time donation can be made at https://membership.faithdirect.net/givenow/MD61.  Thank you for your continued support.​

IRA Distributions to Holy Family
PARISHIONERS 72 YEARS AND OLDER: Parishioners required to take distributions from their IRA accounts can gift directly to Holy Family. Being a recognized 501(c)(3) non profit, Holy Family can be the recipient of IRA distributions. Donors can gift up to 100% of their required minimum IRA distribution to their charity or charities of choice. The donation must be made directly to the qualified charity and Holy Family will acknowledge each charitable donation in writing as required by tax law. In lieu of paying taxes on your IRA distribution please consider making a charitable gift with the funds instead. You should of course consult your tax advisor before making a federally tax-free charitable distribution from your IRA.

Stock Donations
Donating appreciated stock is an efficient way to make a charitable gift. It’s easy and it saves the donor from paying capital gains taxes. If you itemize your deductions you are eligible to deduct the full fair market value of the stock, up to IRS limits. Effectively you’re able to contribute 20% more than if you sold the stock and paid capital gains taxes. Please contact the staff at [email protected] in the parish office for information on the process for doing this.
