The 2026 Pledge Drive
Shine the Light, Share God’s Love
Annual pledges allows us to Shine the Light and Share God’s Love.
Pledges make a difference in the life of the community! With the generosity of parishioner pledges we have fed tens of thousands of meals to hungry neighbors and provided spiritual learning opportunities for children, youth, and adults. These gifts also provide this worship space where come together for the Eucharist every Sunday.
Everything from worship, to outreach, to education, and beyond relies on the financial support of our generous parishioners like you. In fact, nearly 80% of our annual budget comes from parishioner pledges and every October we ask parishioners to make a pledge of financial support for the coming year.
Your pledge matters. In order to keep our current ministries going strong, we need an overall increase of 5.2% in pledged dollars. That averages out to an increase of $3.50/week per current pledger. Together, we can achieve our goal. Prayerfully consider what you can pledge and give at a level that is meaningful to you. We are grateful for you and your support.
Pledge packets were mailed out on Friday. Watch for yours! If you gave to St. Mary’s last year, you will find your 3rd quarter statement in your packet.
Pledge today by mailing back the pledge card you received in your pledge packet, or you can fill out the electronic version of our pledge card here, or set up a recurring electronic gift here through this secure payment site.
Ways To Pledge
Fill out an online pledge form. What is a pledge? A pledge is an estimate of what you plan to give for the year. This is not a legal obligation. It is simply an estimate to guide our Budget Committee as they craft the annual budget.

Contact our Finance and Records Manager, Emily Breding, at Emily@saint-marys.org or 541-343-9253 ext. 503 to let her know which securities you will be donating to St. Mary’s, and ensure that you get the full tax deduction.
