Online Donations
How can we repay the Lord for all the good done for us? By donating!
Support a cause, contribute to a fundraiser, pledge to a charity, tithe to your church. The decision is up to you.
Volunteer
How can we share our gifts with others?
By volunteering! Feed the hungry, pray for the sick, serve donuts and coffee, teach children about God's love,
welcome visitors and parishioners, sing to the congregation - the possibilities are endless!
Afraid you don't have enough time to volunteer? It's a common concern. Our ministries vary but all offer a wide range of needs and could require as little as an hour or two of your time a month.
Don't know where to begin? A good place to start is by attending various ministry events or by visiting the Parish Office.
"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."
Helen Keller
The heart of stewardship is gratitude.
When we are filled with gratitude we overflow with joy and the desire to share our gifts with others.
In the act of giving, God's love is magnified and - like the loaves and fish - our gifts are multiplied.
2025 Pastoral Services Appeal
Bishop Kevin Vann of our Diocese of Orange invites you to participate in the annual Pastoral Services Appeal (PSA) to support the mission of our Diocese and the work of St. Irenaeus Church. He writes: I pray that you will again join me together as missionary disciples of Christ in supporting the Pastoral Services Appeal campaign. We will again bring the love of Jesus into our parishes and schools, our homes and neighborhoods, as we live his Gospel message.
For every dollar given, 95 cents goes directly to the mission and ministries below:
Parish Support (30%)
Catholic Schools (20%)
Vocations Formation & Support (20%)
Priest Retirement (15%)
Outreach (10%)
Your contribution last year provided assistance to 56 retired priests, 28 seminarians in formation, more than 615,000 families and individuals in need, and education and learning support to over 17,000 students in our Catholic schools. Those who gave to the PSA last year will soon receive a letter from Bishop Vann thanking you for your support.
With the generous support of St. Irenaeus parishioners, the parish surpassed our last year's allotted goal of $201,000. Saint Irenaeus' allotted goal is the same this year . Any amount collected over this goal goes back to the parish for its special projects or ministry.
Participating in the annual PSA is an invitation and a sacred duty. Please discuss it with your family, pray about it, and make a donation. Each family or person’s financial situation is different. No gift is too big or too small. You may return the PSA pledge card at any Sunday Mass or at the parish office. You may also make a donation online below.
Your generosity is appreciated!
"The root of joy is gratefulness... It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful."
