What is Development?
Development is comprised of two fundamental components:
- First, the community must be informed of the many, many works provided by St. Cyril of Alexandria Parish, with goals and successes being shared.
- Second, in relation to these items, time, talent and treasure must be developed. These valuable resources must be secured to continue the invaluable work that must be done…God’s work.
We must develop relationships to communicate our works, meet our goals and ultimately carry out our mission. Development is the responsibility of all who love the Lord and want to follow Him. Join our Development Team where we develop peoples’ time, talent and treasure to help build the Kingdom.
Opportunities to Contribute
St. Cyril provides different ways to make donations: You may set up an EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) which will provide an automatic donation to the Parish. St. Cyril also provides the opportunity to use a debit/credit card for one-time or monthly donations to the Parish.
Marian Plaza
This is an amazing opportunity to honor or memorialize a loved one. The Marian Plaza, located on the east side of the Parish Office, is a magnificent place to give honor and glory to our Blessed Mother. There are three different opportunities: 4″ x 8″ pavers for $100, 8″ x 8″ pavers for $200, and planter seats for $1,000.
Planned Giving
Planned Giving is the process by which a charitable gift of one’s estate assets are designated to a nonprofit organization. This gift is a part of a donor’s overall estate plan. Please consider designating St. Cyril of Alexandria when preparing for Planned Giving.
These types of gifts require planning and assistance from a professional financial advisor. For further information please consult your financial advisor or the St. Cyril Development Office.
Welcome Weekend
The St. Cyril Development Board hosts Welcome Weekends on the first Sunday of the month from September through June. Join us for special “goodies” and fellowship.
Stewardship Prayer
Almighty God, we thank you for all the gifts You have given us: our lives, our loved ones, all that we have and all that we are. Most of all, we thank You for Jesus, Your Son and our Redeemer, who came among us to show us the way to eternal life. Jesus was the perfect steward of Your gifts, showing that complete trust in You is necessary, and that giving of self is a most important part of following Him. May the offerings of our time, our talents, and our material resources be made in the same spirit of sacrifice that Jesus taught us by His life and death for us. Amen.
