IN PERSON USING WEEKLY OFFERTORY ENVELOPES
Using weekly offertory envelopes is the traditional way parishioners support the parish and the only way to ensure we can supply an accurate tax statement -- upon request -- at the end of the year. You are not required to use envelopes to make a contribution to the parish and can simply make an offering when the collection is taken up at Mass. If using a check for your contribution please make it payable to ST. MARTIN DE PORRES PARISH. To sign up for offertory envelopes, please call the parish office at (617) 436-0310.
OTHER WAYS TO GIVE
Appreciated Securities, legacy or planned giving
Donations of appreciated securities or leaving us in your will can support St. Martin de Porres Parish and may provide tax benefits to you if applicable. Please call the parish office at (617) 436-0310 and speak with Nancy Lafoe for further information.
A way to pray for and remember loved ones is by sponsoring the sanctuary lamp lit near the tabernacle that signifies the Eucharistic Presence of Jesus Christ or by sponsoring the weekend offertory gifts of bread and wine. The donation will be noted in the bulletin and remembered in the prayers of our parish family at offertory time. This is a faith-filled way to remember birthdays, anniversaries or to offer special prayers and intentions for your loved one(s). The suggested offering for a sanctuary lamp is $10.00 and $20.00 for the bread and wine. Please call the parish office at (617) 436-0310 and speak with Amy Mulvey to make arrangements. Please make your check payable to ST. MARTIN DE PORRES PARISH.
In addition to the weekly parish offertory is the occasional second collection which is a special request to support a cause such as the Clergy Trust, Women Religious, St. Vincent de Paul, natural disaster relief or simply give a little extra to cover the parish fuel bill. Typically, an additional envelope is enclosed with the monthly package for those who requested envelopes; however, mention is made in the parish bulletin when a second collection will be taken up.
