Mary, Seat of Wisdom Parish

Making a Sunday Giving Commitment to MSW is an important part of what it means to be a good steward. Your contributions are more than just support for the basic operating needs of MSW Parish. They represent a tangible expression of gratitude for God’s role in your life and the part the Church has played in deepening your spirituality.

Your commitment enables the parish to support the many programs, ministries, and services that promote prayer, service and giving to others within and beyond the MSW community.  

We ask that you make a Sunday Giving commitment and support our parish in one of these ways:

• Become a Recurring Donor by providing monthly support for Mary, Seat of Wisdom
   
• Return the traditional offertory envelopes through mail or drop off at the Parish Office on a regular basis.

We hope you will support MSW Parish as generously as you are able so that together we can move forward through these difficult times.

With more than 60 years of faith, ministry, education and fellowship as our heritage, it is no wonder that Mary, Seat of Wisdom is a parish known for looking ahead while treasuring a wonderful past.

The Wisdom Fund, our parish’s educational endowment, was established to ensure that our educational ministries will always be supported and sustained to carry on our Catholic values.

We know that building our endowment is the one of the most important investments we can make. The power of an endowment is in its continuity.  

Your gift to The Wisdom Fund creates a personal legacy and permanently supports the educational projects and activities available to parishioners and friends of all ages. Withdrawals from The Wisdom Fund will support nearly every aspect of our Catholic faith and our parish community.

While tuition and fees are our school's largest sources of revenue, each year MSW requires additional funds outside of tuition to support the unique MSW School experience for all students.

Tuition is set as low as possible to remain competitive and to make this faith-based education accessible to as many children as possible. This means that each year there is a gap between the cost of tuition and the cost of each child's education. 

MSW depends on the charitable support of its parents, parishioners, grandparents, alumni and friends for annual operating needs.

The MSW Fund helps support the daily needs of our parish school and program enhancements. Donations go towards:

• Professional development for faculty
• Enrichment programs and services
• Facilities maintenance and upkeep
• Catholic Identity and Service Learning
