Stewardship: The careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one’s care; one of the largest responsibilities God places on our shoulders, something that needs to be an intentional effort and a priority.

Registered parishioners receive a few STAC envelopes every month for convenience.
Fill in your name, register no. and amount of donation on the envelope before putting them in the Sunday collection basket or delivering them to the parish office.
All donations via STAC envelopes will be recorded in the parish system. If you would like to receive a receipt of your donations, please send a request to the parish office at the end of year. You will receive a receipt that covers all of your donations via STAC envelopes.
TAP has been established since 2009 for our parishioners to support our students at STA Catholic School.
It provides tuition assistance to families that are in need of financial assistance and qualified by Catholic Education Fund (CEF) but were put on the wait list because CEF cannot cover all qualified families.
TAP provides $500 assistance to each student on the CEF wait list.
Each year, TAP helps 26 or more students. We have been achieving our goal of raising $13,000 annually.
Some STA School families would like to have their children study and grow up in a Catholic environment but cannot afford the full tuition.
Even with the $500 financial assistance from TAP, some families need additional assistance.
If you would like to help supporting their children’s education and become a sponsor, please send an email to Fr. John at [email protected]
