Offertory

We are grateful for the generosity of people who give to the weekly offertory whether online or in the baskets passed during Mass. Your loving donations go to pay bills and salaries, provide materials and stipends for ministry and to maintain our facilities. Annually, as it should, more than 10% of all giving goes directly to people in need. Our prayer is that everyone, every member young and old, contributes to their ability: time, talent and treasure for the glory of God and the good of his people. Thank you.

Tax-Wise Year-End Giving Options

From a tax perspective, a gift of appreciated assets makes good sense. You can make the capital gains taxes optional, achieve significant tax savings, and support our programs.

Gifts from an IRA
If you are 70 ½ or older, you can make a tax-free gift directly from your IRA account to the parish. This law allows you to transfer any amount up to $100,000 annually directly to a qualified charitable organization without paying income tax on the distribution. The transfer does not generate taxable income or a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your tax deductions. Your gift can satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution.
Gifts of Stock
Gifts of appreciated assets such as stock are an excellent way to make a charitable gift. Stocks may be transferred directly to the Archdiocese to benefit a parish, school, or favorite Catholic ministry. These gifts will not affect your cash flow, and they provide the following tax benefits:
- A possible charitable deduction to help you save on taxes
- Bypass of federal and state capital gains taxes
- Avoidance of the tax on net investment income

Our legal title is The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Los Angeles, A Corporation Sole, for the Benefit of (parish, school, ministry).
