CONTRIBUTION STATEMENT CLARIFICATION:
We apologize for the confusion regarding your 2020 contribution statements!
In years past, contribution statements were sent to every parishioner with donations totaling any amount over $100. This year, the statements were sent only to those with contributions totaling over $1,500. Because changes in tax laws, raising the standard deduction for married couples to $24,800, meant that many families that had previously itemized deductions in the past no longer benefitted from doing so, and we made the erroneous decision that most donors would not need printed statements.
Additionally, many of our parishioners switched to on-line giving during the pandemic, and those contribution totals are available directly through the online giving portal for those donors.
We sincerely apologize for the confusion in the way that we handled your contribution statements this year! We truly appreciate your incredible generosity and would not for a moment want you to think otherwise!! Contribution statements for all Parishioners have been re-printed and will be mailed out on Thursday, February 18th.
Again, our thanks for your understanding and forgiveness!
Your Parish Staff
