Sacrificial Giving
Please continue to give your usual amount so that we can weather this crisis together as a parish. You may do so in the following ways.
- Donate via credit card. Please visit our website (stcsti.org) click on the “Give” button on the top of the page. You can set up recurring donations to our parish with your credit card. This is the single most helpful way you can provide the parish with a steady source of income, since we are not taking up a weekly collection. This site is secure and your credit card information will be safe
- Mail your donation to the office. PO Box 278, Port Tobacco, MD 20677
- Collections will be taken at the 5:00pm St. Catherine Mass and the 8:30am St. Ignatius Mass.

Prayer List Ministry
Thank you for submitting names to our bulletin prayer list - and many thanks to those who spend time praying by name for our parishioners who are ill or struggling. Your prayers are needed now more than ever with the present COVID-19 epidemic!
In the interest of keeping our prayer list current, we have decided to keep names on our list for three months. After that time, the name will be rotated off the list. If the individual is still sick and in need of prayers, please contact the parish secretary to include their name for another three months. This will allow all our prayers to be focused on those who are most in need.
