Tax Tithe

[PeterPaul]

I don't know how popular this thread is going to be, but I was wondering where you might be putting your tax refund tithe. Not everyone does the 10 percent thing, but it might be helpful, if you do, to post information on the charities Catholic or non so people might be interested in supporting it. I sometimes am unaware of orders or charities but thanks to you guys I learn about them everyday.

Here are two places I am going to put a portion of my tithe to:

The Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Spain is a wonderful Cathedral in the process of being built now for almost 100 years. It's architect Antoni Gaudi, the famous Catalan artist now beautified by the Pope had a wonderful style.

Aid to the Church in need is a good charity.

http://www.acnuk.net -Aid to the Church in Need UK
http://www.aidtothechurchinneed.com -Aid to the Church in Need US

The general work it does it:

looking after those made homeless due to war or religious persecution- spiritually and physically. Rebuilding dilapidated and destroyed churches, chapels, and parish centers. Restoring hundreds of churches around the world. It also Supporta poor seminarians in priestly training around the world and in wartorn countries.

Its most famous project is in translating and giving out copies of a simple children's bible to kids for free all around the world in their own language

Many children are simply so poor that they could never afford a bible and Aid to the church in need has distributed more than 40 million copies in 120 languages to poor children in areas like- Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Kenya and china.

I just use it as my Diocesan Appeal money.....

Nothing wrong with that! I just wanted to see some of the great people and organizations doing great things. Shannon, even if you have some people you think are worth supporting, there's nothing with that too!

I must admit that we really just tithe to our parish and our diocese and our second collections, and we give food to the food bank, and recycle our clothing by giving it away...

My hubby makes less than $25,000 and we are a family of 5- so I don't really end up giving as much as I would like! Hey - wait a minute- I could make us a charity!! LOL!!

I guess I would add to the list of worthwhile causes:
