Support Our Mission on Giving Tuesday

SUPPORT OUR MISSION - GIVE TO WHAT YOU VALUE We know that in addition to the regular Eucharistic offerings you make at your local parish, from time to time you wish to make offerings to support the mission and ministries of our diocese - most especially our community based ministries that rely solely on grants and diocesan support. We thank God for your generosity. GIVE NOW Easy for us and simple for you, electronic giving allows your contributions to be transferred electronically from your checking or savings account or your credit card directly to the Diocese of Western Massachusetts through Tithe.ly. When making your donation, you can note if your gift is in thanksgiving for something or in memory of someone, so it may be properly acknowledged if you wish. If you have questions, please contact us .

Creation Care

This week's green-living tip: Check your tire pressure! Lower tire pressure means poor gas mileage. In fact, as many as 40% of cars don’t have fully inflated tires, creating millions of extra pounds of carbon pollution every year. That’s not good for God’s creation, but it’s an easy problem to fix.
