Saint George Parish is a non-profit organization, which exisits soley on the generosity of it's parishioners. As a result, it is imperative for us to immediately access these funds in order to sustain the daily needs of the parish. For this reason, we do not have an on line giving program at this time. However, there are several alternatives.
If you are unable to make it to Mass and you would like to make a contribution via the internet, we encourage you to contact your bank to see if the bill pay option is available through that institution. If you designate St. George Parish as a recipient of a payment, a check can be sent directly to the Rectory Office at 22 E. Cooke Avenue, Glenolden, PA 19036.
If you would like to mail a check without the assistance of the internet or your bank's bill payment services, simply write a check and send to directly to the Rectory Office. We also accept money orders.
Your contritbution, together with the kindness of our generous parishioners, helps us to maintain our beautiful church, grounds and parish buildings, provide warmth for our parishioners and friends in the winter and air-condtioning in the summer, and allows us to provide meaningful and well celebrated liturgies, along with a Parish Religious Education Program for all ages and a Tuition Assistance Program (Parish Subsidy) for students who choose a Catholic school education, and, most importantly, allows our celebrants to bring the Eucharist and other sacraments to our parishioners as needed throughout the year.
Treasure Sunday, also referred to as "Stewardship Weekend," and formerally known as the "Annual Block Collection," is typically held each year on the second Sunday of October. Why do we call it Treasure Sunday? Well, there are many gifts we can offer to God in return for all that He has given to us. These "treasures" are not just monetary donations. We can also give to the Church our time and talent by way of volunteering to visit hospitals and the homebound to bring them the Eucharist, a smiling face and a Parish Bulletin, by volunteering at Parish functions and Youth Group activities, and by volunteering for lay ministry such as being a Reader, a Leader of Song, or Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, or assisting on Parish Councils.
Treasure Sunday contributions stay in the parish and are used to help us keep our parish alive and vibrant and provide for the spiritual needs of all our parishioners.
