"God loves a cheerful giver."
2 Corinthians 9:7
Thank You For Your Financial Contributions!
Giving is a declaration that God is the supplier of everything. God gives to you so He can give through you. Your offering to Our Lady of Guadalupe makes a difference within our parish and throughout our local community. The best way to support our ministry is to choose to give online with a Recurring Donation.

Have You Considered Tithing?
To tithe at 10% or another amount you prayerfully choose makes giving an offering of our “First Fruits” to God, and not our left overs (Gen 28:22, Dt 26:1-10). It tells God (and ourselves) that God is first in our life. Many testify to the spiritual and material benefits of tithing.
Giving Options
The most common designation for online giving is our regular collection. Your donations to the regular collection help us sustain our church and its operations. However, there are many other ministries and programs, both at Our Lady of Guadalupe and beyond, that can benefit from your online donations.
Please click on the blue category boxes below for information about all the giving options to which you can direct your online donations.
Dedicating a specific gift to an OLG fund or ministries is available on our Online Giving form. Below is a description for each one.
The Niland Fund
The Niland Fund was established by Billyanna Niland in 1998 (“Niland Trust”). Per Mrs. Niland’s instructions funds are to be used for “the education fund for needy children” at Our Lady of Guadalupe (OLG) Catholic Church (“Parish”). Consistent with the charter of the trust, the Niland Trust Board of Directors works with the OLG Pastor and school Principal to identify families whose children are attending OLG School and would benefit from a tuition scholarship, tuition assistance and/or emergency funding. Gifts to this fund are strongly encouraged so that we can continue to help future generations of OLG families and students through the loving generosity of others.
Our Maintenance Fund
Contributions to this essential fund helps keep our facilities safe and maintained.
Building Fund
Contributions to this fund are used for new building projects, or non-maintenance building additions/renovations.

Contributions to this ministry help families in need of monthly groceries. Additionally, we do consider additional needs families may bring to us under emergency situations. A group of our volunteers meet to assess the needs of those receiving benefits and consider the best use of our financial resources.

From parish book programs to Formed.Org membership and welcome events that introduce the community to the teachings and church of Jesus Christ, evangelization funds will be used to share our faith.
Men’s Group Ministry
Contributions to this ministry will be used to support authentic male leadership in our parish through prayer, service, and fellowship. Specifically, funds will be used to promote the group, host welcome events, support other ministries and needs of the parish, and provide opportunities for men to grow in their faith.
Called to Renew (CTR)
This is a campaign run by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles in all parishes to raise money for the capital improvements (maintenence or other essential building projects) for all the parishes of the Archdiocese. 50% of each donation goes to the Archdiocese to be used in other churches, and 50% of your donation remains at Our Lady of Guadalupe to help with our Evangelization ministries and other purposes as per our case statement. More information coming shortly.
