Support our Parish!

“All must give as they are able, according to the blessings given to them by the Lord your God.” – Deuteronomy 16:17

With the generous commitment of all our members, we can Light the Way to ensure that we are able to support the needs of our parish and continue to support those in our community who need it most! 

What you give is an investment in your faith community; one that not only benefits our community today, but future generations to come. Please pray and discuss as a family how you can support our parish! We appreciate your support of Epiphany Parish!

• Check or cash – Use your parish envelopes to have contributions properly credited to your account.
• Electronic Giving Options

Like in your home, we pay our bills to keep all of our facilities operating (e.g.  heating, cooling, electricity, water, lawn care, snow removal, repairs, maintenance, etc.).  Funds are also collected to continue the essential ministries that parishioners and the local community depend on. 

Our mission to Light the Way in service to the community includes:

• Baby Pantry – Annually serve over 250 area families (740 children ) in need of clothing, diapers, baby supplies, equipment and books. 
• Blessing Box - A free standing cabinet located on parish grounds at each church.  Community members in need are encouraged to take items for free (toiletries, nonperishable items and seasonal clothing such as hats, gloves and socks)
• Drug Treatment Court – A sentencing alternative for drug-addicted, non-violent offenders.  Provide cell phones, bus passes, and bicycles.  Provide one-on-one mentoring and circles of support locally through Catholic Charities.
• Jail & Prison Reentry Services - Provide one-on-one mentoring and circles of support to formerly incarcerated individuals as they work toward their housing, employment, and financial stability goals
• Thanksgiving Gift Cards – Provide a gift card to over 325 needy families in Mason City and surrounding communities.
• Community Programs - Donations and time to Meals on Wheels, Community Kitchen, and Hawkeye Harvest Food Bank.
• Prayer Shawl/Rosary Ministry - Knitted/crocheted shawls are given to anyone in need of prayer, hope, comfort and love.  Handmade rosaries are distributed to students, hospital patients, new parishioners and have made their way to African and Bolivian missions.
• St. Lawrence Home of Hope in Zambia, Africa - On an international level, we provide support to St. Lawrence Home of Hope in Zambia, Africa.  Since 2005 we have been helping homeless, neglected boys find shelter, food, medicine and an education.
