 How Much Should I Give
One of the most the most frequently asked question we get is how much should I tithe.  Biblical teachings tell us that answer is 10%.  The ten percent is divided into three categories:
  1. 5% to St Thomas More,
  2. 1% to the Indianapolis Archdiocese Annual Catholic Appeal, and,
  3. 4% to other charities of your choice (BUT, we at St Thomas More would not be disappointed should you choose to donate some or all of that amount to St Thomas More:)

Electronic Giving FAQ

​Some people may be reluctant to enroll in electronic giving because when the basket is passed they do not have anything to drop in the basket. making them look like they are not donating.  

There a couple of ways to address this issue.
  1. Keep your envelopes.  Write on the envelope "Electronic Donation"  so that cash/check processors do not try to count it.
  2. Call the Office and get "Electronic Contribution tickets to drop in the basket; or, print your own tickets using the process below.​
  3. Print your own "Electronic Giving Receipt" that you can drop in the basket in lieu of an envelope.   Click on the following link:  Electronic Contribution Ticket.   If you have colored paper they will look nicer; but, white paper also works just fine.  ​​
