On Giving to the Church, by James Kautz

 

“Writing on the topic of giving to the Church is difficult for me, notes James Kautz, Director of Pastoral Services for the Archdiocese of St. Boniface. “I give, and have for most of my adult life, but Jesus commanded us to give in secret, so I rarely talk about this openly.
