As we navigate through the year, we find ourselves immersed in a multitude of projects that contribute to the growth and well-being of our beloved parish. These initiatives aim to enhance our community spaces, support local programs, and strengthen the bonds that make our parish a thriving hub of togetherness.
In order to bring these projects to fruition, we seek the generous financial support of our parishioners and friends of the parish. Your contributions play a pivotal role in realizing the aspirations we have for our parish and ensuring that it remains a vibrant and supportive community for all.
Additionally, we express our deep appreciation for your active participation in various engaging activities, such as Bingo, super raffles, and other fundraising events. Your involvement not only adds to the fun and camaraderie but also significantly contributes to the financial resources needed for the success of these projects.
Together, we can make a lasting impact and create positive change within our parish. Your continued support is not only valued but crucial in shaping the future of our community. Let us join hands and work towards a brighter and more prosperous tomorrow.
Your support of the parish sustains our ability to serve our Catholic family and the surrounding community.
Stewardship is a phrase, which merges the Biblical concept of tithing, giving at least 10% of one’s time and finances of God with the Catholic theology of generously living the Gospel teachings of Jesus.
All parish members (except those in nursing homes or going through serious health problems) are asked to actively give of their time, talents, and financial resources to build our parish community and help those in need.
Support the parish financially in a recordable way through the use of the Sunday contribution envelopes or checks. These contributions can also be made electronically - weekly or monthly through ACH agreement.
Many parish-building projects can only be funded through the generous donation amounts received in estates from Church members. God has given us many gifts in this life, and one way we can express our thanks for them is by remembering the parish in our wills.
A suggested form of bequest that can be given to a lawyer and easily added to a current will: I hereby give, devise, and bequeath to St. Teresa of Avila Parish, Cincinnati, Ohio (____%) of my estate or _________ dollars for the sole benefit of St. Teresa of Avila Parish.
If you have questions, please contact the parish office.
The 7:00 AM Mass on the first Friday of each month is for those enrolled in the St. Teresa Memorial. If you wish to include someone in loving memory we prefer you visit the parish office Monday, Wednesday, or Friday to enroll a person or include an intention, and will do our best to accommodate you on other weekdays. Memorial cards are available.
Additionally, contributions can be made in Memorium to the church or school.
We are grateful for each and every contributor.
At St. Teresa of Avila School, we have a rich history of delivering high-quality education while nurturing the values of faith, community, and excellence. Over the years, we have continued to evolve and adapt to meet the changing needs of our students. However, we believe in the constant pursuit of improvement.
Your generous donations enable us to undertake special projects and make important improvements that can elevate the educational experience we provide. These enhancements can encompass a wide range of initiatives, from upgrading facilities to introducing innovative technology, and from expanding extracurricular programs to enriching the curriculum. Each project is carefully designed to make a positive impact on the education, well-being, and future of our students.
Our mission is simple yet profound: to be a beacon of hope and assistance for those in need within our community. At the heart of our outreach efforts is a commitment to alleviating the burdens that life may place on individuals and families.
By donating to St. Vincent de Paul, you become an integral part of our mission to create a community where no one is left behind. Your compassion fuels our ability to provide hope, assistance, and support to those who need it most. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of our neighbors and build a stronger, more caring community. Thank you for being a beacon of hope!
CMA Supports Six Local Ministries
The Catholic Ministries Appeal is the annual campaign to support six local ministries that teach, feed, and heal. All 200+ parishes of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati join together to invite participation in this vital appeal. We invite you to learn more at Catholic Appeal
Gifts to the CMA can be returned through St. Teresa's offertory basket during Mass or mailed to:
Catholic Ministries Appeal
100 East 8th Street, 2nd Floor
Cincinnati, OH 45202
Please make checks payable to the "Catholic Ministries Appeal"
The Catholic Education Foundation (CEF) for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati has been certified by the State of Ohio as a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO). This is great news because gifts to the CEF-SGO can be directed to St. Teresa School!
Turn your taxes into tuition to benefit St. Teresa. Ohio taxpayers who donate to an SGO may be able to claim a dollar-for-dollar non-refundable tax credit on their state income tax return for up to $750 per donor (up to $1,500 if married and filing jointly).
This is a great way to support St. Teresa School and benefit from this new Ohio Income Tax Credit:
Because this provision is a tax credit and a re-direction of your taxes, we kindly ask that your gift to the CEF-SGO be in addition to your current support of the parish or school.
For additional information please consult your tax advisor.
