Giving Day
May 5th is Giving Day 2024!
Giving Day is a 24-hour fundraising event to
offer our gratitude to God,
celebrate St. Mary's community, and
support our ministries.
For Giving Day this year, a parishioner has stepped forward with a $25,000 challenge gift! Can you rise to their challenge and join with a gift of your own? As you will read more about below, this year’s Giving Day funds will support an important added element to our renovation.
Diving into how we approach our Giving Day values:
Offer Our Gratitude to God: Our faith teaches us the importance and power of gratitude. Giving Day provides us with a special opportunity to express our thankfulness for the abundant grace that God has showered upon us.
Celebrate the St. Mary’s Community: Community is at heart of St. Mary's, a place where people come together to support and uplift one another in times of joy and adversity. Giving Day is a celebration of our values, relationships, and ministry.
Financially Support Our St. Mary’s Ministry: Our ministry is made possible by the generous financial gifts you have entrusted to us. Giving Day is an opportunity to financially support our ministry. We are currently in a significant renovation to make St. Mary’s more hospitable, accessible, safe, and environmentally responsible. Unfortunately, the section of the roof over the main courtyard entrance has failed and is not fixable. This roof is a flat roof, and being here in rainy Eugene, it has always had difficulty with leaking, but now is beyond repair. We need to replace it before we finish these beautiful renovations, but this is also the perfect opportunity to redesign this part of our roof so we can avoid the same problems that created the failure. This problem arose during the renovations, so was not accounted for in our original fundraising. This year’s Giving Day funds will support the replacement of this section of roof.
