We give thanks on Thanksgiving, shop on Black Friday, and scroll through deals on Cyber Monday. Now, we’re ready to “Give Catholic” on #GivingTuesday! Are you ready?!
Celebrated annually on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday, #iGiveCatholic is the U.S. Catholic Church’s Giving Day that kicks off the charitable season and brings the Catholic community together to give thanks and give back.
This year, Our Lady of Grace Parish is participating in #iGiveCatholic to raise money for permanent live-streaming equipment for our church!*
#iGiveCatholic takes place on Giving Tuesday, December 1, from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM, with our Advanced Giving Day Phase beginning at 12:00 AM on Monday, November 16 and running right through the Giving Day.
To donate, please follow these 2 easy steps:
At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Our Lady of Grace Parish began live-streaming the Mass on our website while the public could not attend the sacred liturgy in person. We have continued these efforts even after public Masses resumed, and our hope is to continue live-streaming from now on. The live-stream has been a great source of joy, connection, and outreach to those who are homebound, immuno-compromised, and those that live far away from OLG but still want to (virtually) participate in the liturgies at our parish. The addition of the live-stream service on our website is also a powerful evangelization tool, as it allows those who are curious about the Catholic faith to view the Mass and other parish offerings at any time. It is a great gift to serve our parishioners and beyond through live-streaming!
Our church is in need of permanent live-streaming equipment so that we can continue to live-stream the Mass, sacraments like First Holy Communion and Confirmation, special presentations and talks, and other events in the church with the best quality possible. We humbly ask that you donate any amount you feel called to toward this project. Our donation levels include $25, $50, $100, or $500, but we are extremely grateful for any amount that you are willing to give. Thank you in advance - you are in our prayers! God bless you!
