Giving is our responsibility. It is necessary to support the services that the Church offers in order to provide appropriate help to those that are in need. We are grateful for all we have and want individuals less fortunate to be able to have basic necessities of life.

Because the need is so overwhelming these days.  And I trust the Church to render assistance in the most effective - and understanding manner - possible.  The Church understands that the best way to get people back on their feet is through support, encouragement, and hope.  I hope you never know what I really mean by that, but if you do it is because you've been there too...at some point in your journey.

Because it is my duty to help people who need it the most.  Porque es mi obligación ayudar a las personas que más lo necesitan.  Because I trust the Church and it needs donations to spread goodness all around the world.  Porque confío en la Iglesia y ella necesita donaciones para repartir bondad por todo el mundo.  Because my grandmother taught me to give according to my possibilities.  Porque mi abuelita me enseñó a dar de acuerdo a mis posibilidades.

I feel that in a very small way I can help others who are in need and I believe in the diverse services that the program provides aid to.

I give to DDD each year because I am so grateful to God for the gift of faith, and for the enriching parish community I was given when I was called back to the church.  In this mission diocese, I hope everyone has the same opportunities to explore their faith and practice their faith as I did in Park City.  I have been given much. I want to joyfully and lovingly give back to God through opportunities like this.  And I pray for all of us, especially our shepherds who faithfully guide us each day.

We contributed to the DDD because we are so blessed.

The Lord is amazing and we want to give back and thank him.

The World today needs faith and spiritualism. THe Parish is one of the key motor in promoting faith and guiding us to the Lord. Giving to the Parish is contributing to the spiritual development of the christian community in particular and the public in general!

We give to the DDD to share what we have for the many ministries that it helps. To share in a small way some of the many programs we have received over the years, knowing that by helping  the Catholic Church we will help fill the needs of the state of Utah.

I give because there are others who have so much less than I do.

We give to help support all the important and wonderful programs provided by the Catholic Church in Utah and elsewhere. 

When asked to serve or support I always try to remember a quote by a notable whose name excapes me:

"If not me, then who and if not now, when?"

It quells the feeble excuses that immediately come to mind when asked to do something.
