Each month St. John of Rochester Parish, on behalf of you the parishioners, tithes a percentage of the regular collection to worthy ministries and charities.  The recipients of your tithes are selected by the Parish Tithing Committee based on suggestions made by you, the parishioners.  The committee reviews those suggestions and selects those that best fit the following criteria. The committee has a budget each fiscal year to make contributions on behalf of the parish to worthy organizations.

The Parish Tithing Committee invites any parishioner to suggest a contribution to any organization that meets the established criteria. The committee gives priority to organizations that contribute directly to meeting basic human needs.
