Ways to Give
Dear Parishioners,
As Catholics, our giving flows from gratitude, faith, and a desire to support the Church and one another. At the same time, understanding simple ways to maximize generosity allows us to give wisely and faithfully. Your generosity supports parish life, faith formation, outreach, and our spiritual home at Our Lady of Joy. Since we are in tax season, we want to share a few smart giving options that may help you support our parish in meaningful, financially thoughtful ways.
Some parishioners choose to give through:
- Appreciated stock or cryptocurrency, which may help avoid capital gains taxes
- IRA charitable gifts (for those eligible), which can help fulfill Required Minimum Distributions (RMD), if applicable
- Donor-Advised Fund grants, using charitable funds already set aside
To make this easy to explore, our parish is partnering with Smart Giving, a secure, online resource that helps you learn about these giving options and complete eligible contributions, often in under 10 minutes. We hope this resource is helpful as you outline your stewardship goals this year.

With gratitude,
Fr. Jess Ty, VF
