CMA VideoGiving flows out of an understanding that everything we are and have is a gift from God. Our liturgies, ministries, programs, and events build community, encourage spiritual growth, and extend support to our neighbors in need. Your generosity allows St. Martin of Tours to maintain the essential ministries which make the St. Martin of Tours parish a vital center of Catholic spirituality, both in prayer and in ministering to those in need.

Listed below are many of the directed giving opportunities available, and the ways by which you can give.

Direct Your Gift

When you give to St. Martin of Tours, you can specify whether your gifts are for the parish's general operating needs or for particular programs.

Weekly Parish Offertory

The weekly parish offertory is used for day-to-day operation of our parish and its programs. 
Our weekly envelope system is a fast, simple, and easy way to show your support. Registering for weekly envelopes is as easy as Joining Our Parish . Alternatively, you can choose to enroll in online giving via Vanco. Vanco is a simple and secure way to donate during this unusual time of Covid-19. Vanco Online Giving

Memorial Donations: Mass Intentions, Altar Bread and Wine, Sanctuary Candle, and Votive Shrines

Monetary donations to cover the cost of various items used at our Liturgies for a period of one week can be made in memory of a loved one or to celebrate a special occasion. An acknowledgement of your offering will appear in the bulletin. For more information about memorial donations, visit the rectory or please contact St. Martin of Tours at 516-931-0818.

Parish Outreach Food Pantry and Red Wagon

The mission of the St. Martin of Tours Parish Outreach Food Pantry is to provide food and other support to those in need within our parish boundaries. Please check the weekly bulletin for an updated listing of items that are needed by the Food Pantry. Donated items can be delivered directly to the Food Pantry or placed in the Red Wagon located in the gathering area of the church. Anyone interested in making a monetary donation can do so through the rectory with a check made payable to St Martin of Tours Parish Outreach.  You can add "Operation Hope" in the memo section of your check if you would like the donation to come through the community food drives. See our Parish Outreach page for more detailed information.

The Golden Harvest Festival and Raffle is our largest fundraising event of the year and occurs annually in the fall. We invite you to join in the fun!

Ministry Hosted Events

We have been blessed with a very active and caring community. Our individual ministries hold various fundraising events throughout the year. The Baby Bottle Campaign hosted by the Respect Life Ministry and the Mother’s Day Carnation Sale hosted by our Youth Ministry are two such examples.

Gifts of Stocks and Bonds

There is a potential tax advantage to donating appreciated stock to St. Martin of Tours, instead of cash. If you have held the stock for more than one year, and if you itemize deductions, you are entitled to a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock and you avoid paying capital gains taxes on the appreciation. Please speak with your tax advisor about this potential benefit. Please contact St. Martin of Tours at 516-931-0818 for more information.

Planned Giving and Bequests

You can designate St. Martin of Tours as the beneficiary of your asset by will, trust, other instrument. Please contact the Rectory for additional information on this unique and meaningful gifting opportunity. 

Catholic Ministries Appeal

We encourage all to watch the brief video CMA 2021 Video. The work and services made possible through your donation to the Annual Catholic Appeal help people in the Diocese of Rockville Centre in ways that no parish can alone. We thank all who participated with a gift to last year’s Appeal and ask that everyone prayerfully consider making a gift to the current Appeal. CMA Donate Now
