St. Mark Vitality Goals
-
Vitality Goal #1
-
Goal
Increase the number of parishioners using ACH for regularly scheduled donations to St. Mark Parish by 5 % (approximately 12 envelope holders)
-
Rationale
ACH debits, an authorization agreement for direct payment to St. Mark Parish from a personal bank account, is a common and efficient method of payment today. Many families use this method for bill payments. Reminding families that this service is also available at St. Mark is beneficial for several reasons:
Consistent income for the parish.
People who are not present for a weekend Mass due to weather, illness, vacations, or family commitments.
Weekly envelopes can be used for extra contributions or money saved on not sending
envelopes via the mail.

Vitality Goal #3
-
Goal
St. Mark Parish will donate $1000/month to the Kinderwood Childcare Center for 5 years, starting in July of 2024.
-
Rationale
The Kinderwood Childcare Center is a non-profit organization that was started in the 1980s to
meet the needs of the community and has been improved over the years by community members who volunteer their time and talents by serving on the Board of Directors. The future of our community and parish depends on stability of working young families. The money will be used to retain and recruit qualifies employees to ensure quality care at the
lowest possible cost to the families.
