I want to thank you on behalf of all the children, seniors, and families here at St. Hubert and at St. Al’s, whom we helped through the Giving Tree presents at Christmas. You helped numerous individuals and families be able to enjoy the holidays and experience God’s love through your generosity and support. I also want to thank all of those volunteers who helped with the sorting of presents and those who drove to deliver those presents for St. Al’s. May God bless you during this Christmas Season and during the New Year. -- Deacon Dick Lawson

Our parishioners are extremely generous. In addition to on-going donations of time, service, and helping those in need, some also ask how they can help give back to St. Hubert with additional financial help.  In addition to the regular ways of giving, there are some short-term and long-term methods that some parishioners have used in the past, but are not always immediately known.  As the holiday season and end of the year approaches, here are a few different vehicles some people have used for their charitable giving.

God calls us in many different ways—often through a friend or spouse, our children, a beautiful sunset, or an inspiring story. Other times, we may hear God's call during a crisis.
