Many parishioners receive weekly donation envelopes by mail.  Included in your weekly contribution envelopes are envelopes for “special collections.” These envelopes can be placed in baskets at weekend masses or mailed to the parish office. If you are not receiving weekly donation envelopes please call the parish office at (707) 874-3812.

Endowment Fund

An endowment fund has been established to provide for the long term financial health of our parish. For more information, please call the parish office and arrange to speak with our Pastor.
Endowment Account with Christian Brothers Investment Services of San Francisco for the Benefit of St Philip’s/St Teresa’s Parish
  • During the weekend of October 1, members of the Finance Council announced the establishment of the Endowment Account named above.
  • The goal of this account is to maintain our two historic churches in perpetuity and to insure the financial health of our parish.
  • Our intent is to use Endowment Earnings as needed to maintain the structures and only use the principal balance in severe circumstances.
  • The Endowment Account provides an opportunity for parishioners, visitors, benefactors, community members and friends to contribute to the long-term financial health of our historic buildings.
  • Our parish is a 501c(3) tax entity, therefore contributions to the endowment account will in most instances be tax deductible.
  • Contributions to the Endowment Account can be planned gifts, legacy planning, estate planning, gifting of certain non-cash assets, a named  beneficiary  for a retirement account or  gifting on a current basis with checks made payable to St Philip’s Parish Endowment Account.
  • The Endowment Account provides a financial resource for this parish that will last forever.
 
  • Contact Fr. Bala Govindu, Pastor,  to discuss further.

Leave A Legacy

“You can’t take it with you” does not mean “you can’t leave it behind as you wish.”  For more information, please call the parish office and arrange to speak with our Pastor.
