The Congregation Mission Statement

We are a family of Christians, drawn together by a common mission:
"To build and nurture an active Christian community; to support the mission of the Cathedral; to offer opportunities for exploring and expressing spirituality, affirming the diversities that exist among us; above all, through worship, service, and example, to bear witness to Christ's healing and reconciling love to neighbors, pilgrims, and visitors."

Stewardship: The Rev. Dr. Victoria R. Sirota
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

What a glorious season this is as we rejoice in these last few days of Pentecost, and prepare for Thanksgiving celebrations, for Advent and the new church year, and for the Rededication of this great Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine. Life is rich.

Thank you to all who have made a pledge of time, talent and money in our Stewardship Campaign. You are a blessing to this congregation and to the hope in Christ that resides here. We are so grateful for your generosity of spirit. And if you have not yet returned your pledge card, it’s not too late! Read More

Christian Stewardship

A Christian understands that our lives, talents and our money are given as a trust from God to be used for God's work in the world. Members of the Congregation of St. Saviour understand that they are called to be faithful stewards of their congregation and their church home, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. (About half of all funds contributed to the Congregation go to the Cathedral to help pay the considerable cost of keeping the doors open. The other half is distributed between clergy salary, congregation programs and office expenses.) If you haven't already, please take a moment to make a pledge to the Congregation of St.Saviour, so that it can continue to fulfill its mission.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Contributing to the Congregation of St. Saviour  

    Why are we asked to use contribution envelopes?

    The blue envelopes greatly simplify the work of Cathedral staff and ensure that the funds will be handed over to the Congregation Treasurer for recording and depositing. Cash must be in the envelopes if it is intended for the Congregation. Checks should be made out to Congregation of St. Saviour.

    Where does my money go?

    About half of funds contributed to the Congregation of St. Saviour goes directly to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine to support the considerable cost of keeping the doors open to us and to the people of New York City as well as to the thousands who annually visit our wonderful church home. The remaining funds are divided between clergy salary, congregation programs, Diocesan assessment and office expenses. More information on congregation income and expenses will be included in reports to you later in the year, or you can view our Annual Report.

    What does the number on my contribution envelope mean?

    The number on your envelope matches a number in a computerized system that keeps track of your gifts.

    Why has my number changed?

    The numbers for some contributors were changed this year to simplify record keeping for the treasurer and to reduce the cost of envelopes.

    Can I make my contribution by electronic transfer?

    We now use a program, run by the Diocese, for Electronic Contributions. To learn more or to sign up, Click Here

     

    How you choose to contribute is a personal decision, however it is true for many of us that weekly or monthly giving allows us to give more. For some of us, regular giving throughout the year is a way to offer to God our “first fruits.” However you choose to give, your continued support of your church is greatly appreciated!

    If you have other questions, please feel free to call the Vicar at vicar@saintsaviour.org  or the Treasurer at  treasurer@saintsaviour.org
