Please consider adding Saint Pius X to your Christmas list
this year
As the end of the year approaches, we reflect on the many blessings bestowed upon us. A special year-end gift to Saint Pius X is an excellent way to thank God for these blessings, allowing us to deepen our relationship with Christ through a tangible act of gratitude and sacrifice.

Where Can I Direct my Gift?

• The Behold, I Make All Things New campaign for facilities expansion. For more information about the project, click here.
• The Scholarship Granting Organization of Northeast Indiana (SGONEI), providing scholarships to qualifying students and offering 50-85 percent in tax savings to donors. Click here for more information.
• The Monsignor William C. Schooler and Saint Pius X School Tuition Assistance Endowment Funds, which support all educational programs at the parish. Click here for more information.
• The Sunday offertory for the parish’s general operating expenses.

What Can I Give?

• Cash
• Funds from your bank account or credit card through Online Giving
• Securities: Gifts of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds that have increased in value during your ownership can result in tax savings. If your portfolio has incurred losses, you can use those losses to reduce your taxable income.
• Gifts of other assets: Wills, life insurance policies, real estate, retirement accounts, charitable trusts, and other estate planning vehicles may offer special ways for you to leave a lasting legacy to our parish.
• If you are 70 1/2 or older, consider the significant tax benefits of the Qualified Charitable Deduction (QCD) as part of your qualified retirement account's Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). 

How Can I Give?

• Give through Online Giving at any time using your bank account or credit card.  One-time or recurring gifts can be set up here.
• Complete electronic stock transfer through our diocesan broker. Click here for more information.
• Drop your personal checks and cash donations in the offertory basket at Mass.
• Mail or deliver your check directly to the parish office.
