Thank you for your interest in supporting Holy Spirit Catholic Parishes financially! We understand the value of stewardship by giving back our time, talents, and treasure. We have been blessed abundantly by God, and we believe that it is important to give back to Him. One way of expressing gratitude to Our Lord is by supporting your parish and its mission of encountering Jesus, making disciples, and transforming lives. It is through your generosity that our parishes and schools can continue to operate.
If you have any questions regarding donations or financial gifts, please feel free to contact our offices.
Stewardship must be a way of life for all Catholics. At Holy Spirit Catholic Parishes, all parishioners are encouraged to be generous with their time, talent, and treasure. The Church recommends to us the venerable tradition of tithing—giving away one-tenth of one’s gross income as “first fruits” offered to God in thanksgiving. The Bishops of the United States recommend dividing one’s tithe as follows:
There are a number of different ways to give to your parish or school.
Sunday Collection Envelopes
Parishioners at Holy Spirit Catholic Parishes receive a packet of stewardship envelopes in the mail on a quarterly basis to be used at the Offertory at Mass. These envelopes may be placed in the collection at any Mass location within our seven parish family and will be counted toward your parish collection.
Automatic Payment
Make your regular stewardship contribution via automatic payments directly from your bank. Use the button below to download the automatic payment authorization form for parish stewardship. (Please note - not all banks except this form - your bank can help you with your options)
Online Giving
Give online using a credit or debit card. Make one time or reaccuring gifts. Instead of using an independent company for online giving, we utilize a portal run by the Archdiocese of Omaha where you can give online. Be sure to select your parish, as 100% of funds donated will be transferred to your selected parish.
In addition to one’s regular stewardship, one may wish to donate to a particular parish or school project. Likewise, it is not uncommon to donate some gift in memory of deceased loved one. All monetary donations are handled at the Parish Offices (see above). All non-monetary gifts should be presented to the pastor for his consideration and approval before being donated to the parish.

Our parishes maintain endowments for the financial support of our parishes.
Holy Trinity maintains three separate endowments. All monies donated to the parish endowments are invested as directed by the norms established by the Endowment Committee. The parish uses the interest earned from its “Parish” and “School” endowments as income in its annual budget. The interest earned from the “Scholarship” account is awarded as scholarships to families sending their children to our Catholic schools. Please keep our endowments in mind for your estate planning.
