PARISH WISH LIST:
We are again offering items in our Parish Wishes program that are suggested by out Staff to support our ministry efforts in the Parish. The link to the GoogleDocs list is provided here: https://tinyurl.com/IncarnationParishWishes2025
We recognize that there have been numerous financial asks from our parishioners with weekly/monthly Offertory, Capital Campaign, iGive Catholic and now Parish Wishes. We continue to thank you for your generosity at supporting our mission to bring Christ to others. Peace.
iGiveCatholic:
December 2, 2025 is Giving Tuesday, a day dedicated to Catholic philanthropy that offers an excellent opportunity for the Catholic Community to come together to give thanks, give back, and give Catholic. Incarnation’s Giving Tuesday for both 2023 and 2024 was targeted to raise money to support renovation of our kitchen, which is used by parish groups and by groups who rent the space for celebrations. Your generosity enabled us to purchase and install a commercial dishwasher and re-arrange the back wall of the kitchen as a washing station and food preparation area.
In 2025, we are seeking to raise money to purchase 2 commercial refrigerators ($3,400 each) and 1 commercial freezer ($4,400) to replace aging household units. We would greatly appreciate your continued generosity, especially since we know that many of our families have already contributed to our ongoing Capital Campaign.
Starting Tuesday, December 2, please go here or access the Incarnation #iGiveCatholic donation page from our website. All donations are valuable, whether it be for $10 or to enough to purchase an entire unit. The webpage features photos of the new dishwasher and washing stations, as well as photos of the refrigerators and freezer we wish to purchase. Donations are accepted through Monday, December 15th.
