Catholics! How much do you put in the offeratory envelope?

[Anonymous]

Am wondering how far out of the norm I am to just stick $10 per week in the envelope.

For reference: HHI is 150K.

That's low for your in income.

Do you have kids who you'd like to receive the sacraments there eventually? God forbid there were a tragedy, would you want a loved one's funeral there? If so, I would up your contributions.

OP here, only in this area for 1 more year.

When we move our HHI will be at 100K.

What's a reasonable amount for the new church so I start out on a good foot?

(no kids but good point about the funerals)

HHI $260.

We give $40 a week (by automatic deduction), contribute $25 a week to their building fund, and give separately to a few charities.

I'm the automatic deduction person-- we used to give quite a bit less but we found a Catholic church we actually love. Imagine.

$20 usually. Sometimes $40. If it's just you, I could see doing $10, but if it's youband a spouse, I'd think at least $20 would be more reasonable.

I don't personally know any Catholics who tithe, but I think that .0035% of your gross income is pretty low. Of course, you can contribute in other ways, volunteering your time and/or talents.

$50/month auto withdrawal, various contributions throughout the year when the spirit moves me

Examples: $200 to the preschool on Teacher Appreciation Day, $50 to the altar flower fund for Easter, $500 for each kids christening.

HHI $125k

We have a slightly lower HHI and do $15-$20 a week usually. But we also do two tuitions to the parish school and support every extra fund and collection. If we didn't have the tuitions I would do more.

When we were practicing, we put in $10.

HHI - $200K

Now those pedophiles get nothing. It all goes to the college fund instead.

When we were considering the catholic school with the parish, the monsignor told us he expected AT LEAST $1k/year, or $20/ week.

My HHI is 1/2 that and I put $20, plus my 10 year old puts in 10% of her weekly allowance.

Not Catholic,but go to a different denomination. These sound very low. We give $1500k each quarter on HHI of $180k.
