How do we Tithe?

We tithe by giving back to God a full 10% of what comes to us in terms of time, talent and treasure.

We tithe with our time by being someone who gives generously of our time for the well-being of others: taking care of a needy relative or friend, visiting the sick, caring for the poor, volunteering in any service to others, especially for the sake of the poor, or volunteering in our local parish.

We tithe with our talent by contributing the skill we each have in our own unique way for the good of others. “Whenever you did it for one of these least ones, you did it for Me.” Some are skilled in finances, others are skilled in manual labor, others are skilled in organizing, and others are skilled in listening. Offering these talents to a parish, a school, a nursing hom, a cvic organization are all ways to be generous with our talent.

We tithe with our treasure by giving 10% of our income, with this suggestion: give to our local parish 5% of our income; give 1% to the Archdiocesen Annual Appeal, and give 4% to other charities that we find appealing.
