Giving
As disciples of Christ, we are called to live lives of grateful stewardship—recognizing that everything we have is a gift from God. At St. Francis Xavier, we invite parishioners to prayerfully offer their time, talents, and financial gifts in service of the mission Christ has entrusted to our parish.
To help you faithfully and thoughtfully support this mission, St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church offers several giving options that make it easy to contribute to the ministries and works that sustain and grow our parish community.
Our new online giving platform, Pushpay is part of ParishStaq - a system that helps streamline communication, engagement, and stewardship at St. Francis Xavier. Creating an account is fast and easy, and after your initial setup, managing your giving becomes effortless.
During this transition, all recurring gifts must be transferred from ParishSoft to Pushpay by March 24th. If you currently give through ParishSoft, please log into your account and cancel your recurring gift after setting up your new Pushpay account. When selecting your Pushpay start date, be mindful of your existing scheduled payment date to avoid unintentionally duplicating your donation for the month. If you need assistance, please contact Dcn. Randy Hearn at 405-372-6886.
Fund Descriptions:
A General Fund donation supports the day-to-day life of our parish, including ministry programs, building maintenance, utilities, staff support, and parish operations.
Donations to the Love Thy Neighbor fund provide direct financial assistance to individuals and families in our parish and local community who are facing temporary hardship. This includes: Backpack Ministry, Birthright of Stillwater, Corporal Works of Mercy, Mother Teresa Ministry, and parishioner assistance.
Donations to ECDC help sustain our Early Childhood Development Center by supporting classrooms and resources that foster early learning rooted in faith.
Donations to the Stained-Glass Window fund help to create and install stained glass windows that enhance the beauty of our church and tell the story of salvation history—hidden in the Old Testament and revealed in the New.
Donations to Sanctuary Flowers support the floral arrangements placed beside the ambo each week, helping to beautify our worship space and draw hearts and minds toward the sacred during the Mass.
Other Ways to Give
Donation Envelopes: Donation envelopes are available for those who wish to prepare their cash or check contributions in advance of Sunday Mass. Using an envelope helps ensure your gifts are properly credited and recorded for year-end contribution statements.
Stocks or Bonds: Gifts of stocks or bonds are a meaningful way to support the mission of the parish. If you are interested in making a gift of securities, please contact the Parish Business Office at 405-372-6886 for assistance.
Estate Planning Opportunities: Including the parish in your estate planning is a lasting way to support the Church’s mission for future generations. If you would like information about planned giving options—such as bequests or beneficiary designations—please contact the Parish Business Office at 405-372-6886.
