Christmas and Year-End Giving Ideas
Your Christmas Gift Is Vital to Our Parish
God calls us to be good and faithful stewards. When we share our blessings, we support the good work happening at ICSJ Parish. As we approach Christmas, please take a moment to review your parish giving. Your support at this time is essential — it strengthens our worship and ministries and helps cover the operating costs that keep our parish open, welcoming, and serving our community..
