What little he did have, Pier Giorgio gave to help the poor, even using his bus fare for charity then running home to be on time for meals.  The poor and suffering were his masters, and he was literally their servant, which he considered a privilege.  
​- Brief Biography of Pier Giorgio Frassati, Frassati USA

Amidst our enormous needs as an “infant” parish, we take seriously the example of our patron in caring for those with greater needs.  Because we believe this is essential to our Catholic Faith, we tithe as a parish, i.e., we give 10% of our offertory income away. Half of it goes to charities vetted by the diocese or our tithing committee. The other half is used for our own parish outreach ministries and to assist parish members, who, for example, struggle to purchase food, repair a car to get to work, or care for the unmet needs of a child. We ask those organizations to whom we tithe, to consider tithing 10% of that gift to another deserving group.  Many have done just that, increasing our ability to help the underserved and to build a culture of tithing and generous givers.
