Catholic Ministries Appeal (Formerly Fruitful Harvest)

You matter to God. He shows us His love daily in real ways through all of the graces He gives to us. All that we have, including the breath in our lungs, are gifts from God. We are appointed stewards of every minute we have on this earth: the talents, skills and abilities God has given to us, and all of the treasures and resources whether given or earned.

What God asks of us in return is that we love Him and that we love one another as He has loved us (Mark 12:30-31). We can show our love to God through our prayer life, our service to those in need, and through warm hospitality. Another way is by financially supporting the good works of the Local Church, which is made up of the parishes, schools and facilities of the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana, as well as our Chancery offices and staff in Lafayette.

Please contact Ashley Mahaney for more information, other ways to give, and/or for help setting up a pledge or making a donation.

The Catholic Ministries Appeal will be an annual appeal going forward and will officially run from January 1st to December 31st each year.

He said, “I tell you truly, this poor widow put in more than all the rest; for those others have all made offerings from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood.”

Legacy Society

Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to [the] poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” - Matthew 19:21


THANK YOU to the members of our Legacy Society for their committment and dedication to reduce our mortgage! Without their many years of financial and nonfinancial support, we would still have a long journey a head of us in eliminating this debt. We are profoundly grateful to announce that as of January 5, 2021, our debt has been eliminated after the overwhelmingly generous donation from Tom and Soni Sheehan. 

SCRIP

All these things the pagans seek. Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom (of God) and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. - Matthew 6:32-33

SCRIP Sales are located in the Gathering Space on the Chapel side.
Sales Hours: After Weekend Masses
During the week: Mon, Wed, Fri:  7:45-9:00am, Wed: 2:30-3:00pm
Checks Payable to: OLG-PTO

What is SCRIP?  SCRIP is a fundraiser to help families pay for parish activities and to help fund the parish in general.
How is it used?  SCRIP Families purchase gift cards for stores they shop at already and accrue Scrip Rebates to help pay for Religious Education fees, retreats, CYO fees for the families accruing them and to help the parish pay for those who cannot afford the fees.  Rebates can also be used to pay down the Parish Debt.  Rebates are also used by families enrolling their children in the Parish School to pay book fees and tuition.
How does it work?  The OLG PTO purchases gift cards from major retailers at a discount.  We then sell them to families at face value.  The rebate portion is earmarked with the family name.  At the end of the SCRIP Year the coordinators add up the total rebates earned by each family, subtract 25% for the PTO, and the other 75% is sent to Parish Accounting for use as designated by the family.
How much money are we talking?  The average family starting with purchasing just gas and grocery scrip cards averages $350 per year.  Families adding in clothing, sports equipment, restaurants, movie theaters, electronics, etc., see their earnings increase towards the $500-$750 range.  Families able to get extended family and friends involved can exceed $1,000.   
How do I start?  Purchase a gift card from the Scrip Sales Table during sales hours or go online to ShopWithScrip.com and register your family.  We accept cash or check (credit cards take all the profit) unless you order online and sign-up for PrestoPay, which directly debits your bank account.

Tithing Committee

Consider this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each must do as already determined, without sadness or compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.  - 2 Corinthians 9:6-7


We ask parishioners to give of their treasure, and we hold ourselves to the same standard. Our Lady of Grace faithfully tithes 5% of each weekly offering to programs that serve the poor, help those in need, or support the local community. You can learn more about the Tithing Committee on our Ministries Page. Also, you can submit a Tithing Request Form to the weekly collection basket or send to tithing@ologn.org.
