How Much is Each Family Asked to Contribute?

The Rockford Diocese encourages each family to adopt the modern Catholic interpretation of the Biblical tithe: 

  • 5% of one's time, talent and treasure is directed to one's parish
  • 4% to worthy causes
  • 1% to Diocesan Stewardship
If it is not possible to introduce this way of giving immediately in one's life, then members are encouraged to adopt this sacrificial gift giving as an eventual goal, and each year take a step closer to accomplishing the full tithe.
