Financially Supporting Our Church
Online giving allows payment transfers to the parish via any type of debit/credit card or checking account.

If you have questions about creating the account, you can refer to this document for step by step instructions.
Online donations allow the option to participate in the 50/50 Club game.
GAME RULES: You must first donate ($5.00 or more) in your current Sunday envelope. Then donate $5.00 into the green 50/50 envelope to be eligible to win that week. Donations can be cash or check. Dates on the Sunday envelope must be current. The “pot” is split evenly between the parish and the winner. All registered parishioners are represented in the drawing, but it is entirely your choice to play or not play. If there is no winner on any given week the pot rolls-over and this is how it grows.
All updates on winnings for the 50/50 Club Fundraiser can be found in the weekly bulletin.
Catholic Services Appeal
Every church in the Diocese of Gary is asked to meet a fundraising goal for the the Catholic Services Appeal (CSA). CLICK HERE FOR THE 2023 CSA BROCHURE FOR MORE INFORMATION. If you would like to offer a donation online towards this goal, please click the link below. Our church is listed as #148 Saint Joseph Hammond.
2023 Goal: $30,816.00
Balance remaining as to 9/16/23 = $11,220.00
Why Have an Annual Appeal?
The needs in both the Diocese of Gary and in the Church universal require a response from every Catholic. These needs cannot be effectively fulfilled by one individual or even by a single parish. Since 1987, the Catholic Services Appeal has been extremely successful in addressing those needs because of the generous stewardship of the people of the Diocese of Gary. The dedication and enthusiastic support of the pastors and associate pastors of many parishes have been key factors in the continued success of the CSA.
Last but not least, donations submitted in the mail are still very much welcomed.
Checks can be made out to Saint Joseph Church and mailed to the rectory at 5304 Hohman Avenue, Hammond, IN 46320.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!
