Financial Support of STA
- A financial commitment to the Church shows that God is first in our life.
- People make a personal commitment to church support because this is where they worship, where they received the sacraments, where they express their faith in God, where they experienced God and grew in their faith during an important phase of their lives.
- A financial commitment allows STA to make a difference in the lives of others - inside and beyond the walls of the parish, including the ISU campus.
- A financial commitment binds us together on a mission as part of the Body of Christ.
- Our committed giving allows our parish to plan for current and future ministries.
