Envelopes, offertory pledges, and unrestricted gifts to our parish go toward our general operating needs. This provides for our ministries (school, formation, human concerns, etc.), as well as lighting, heat, snowplowing, general maintenance, and more. Please prayerfully consider contributing what you are able, within your means. 

For those of us who would prefer not to use the envelope system, you may have contributions taken out of your checking or savings account or charged to your credit card automatically. To set this free and easy system up, simply fill out and “ACH/Credit Card Contribution” form and return it to Connie Helm in the parish office. You may put your completed form in the collection basket (put it in a sealed envelope with Connie’s name on it), or mail it to the parish office. Due to the sensitive information on this form, please do not email. 

Double your contribution to St. Gabriel! Many donors enhance the impact of their gifts through their employer’s matching gifts program; some even match gifts made by retirees and spouses. Contact your human resource department for eligibility requirements and an application form and begin doubling your gift to St. Gabriel. If your employer doesn’t have a matching gift program, ask them to consider starting one.

St. Gabriel Parish has several restricted funds. Monies contributed to these funds are utilized only as purposed by the restrictions of the specified fund. In addition, only donors can restrict a contribution or donation. All contributions and donations received to the parish are considered general funds, unless a donor chooses to restrict the contribution or donation to a specified restricted fund.

• The “Building Fund" contributions and donations are currently used to repay the debt on our new formation building and parish hall.
• The “Cemetery Fund” is restricted to the care and perpetual care of our three cemeteries: St. Columba, St. Hubert, and St. Mary.
• The “Endowment Fund” is restricted to tuition assistance and support of our Catholic School. This fund will help students for generations to come. A true legacy of our donors!
• The “Restricted School Fund” represents donations for a specific purpose for our parish school. These monies will primarily be utilized for RTI (Resource to Intervention) teachers, specified tuition grants, technology replacement, and curriculum.
• The “Seminary Fund” is for lay ministry who are seeking additional education or credentials for parish leadership. Anyone thinking of becoming a St. Gabriel Parish Deacon, please talk to Fr. Tim.

We have a variety of fundraisers throughout the year for you to share your time, talents, and/or treasures.
