St Timothy’s Sunday Pew Collection & Online Giving
On-line Giving is available on our website www.sttimothychurch.com, Click on On-line giving. Great to use your credit cards
for those points. Pay for St Timothy’s donations, Special Collection, Bible Studies, Rel Ed, Youth Ministry, plus donations to all fund raisers. See page
in this bulletin with parish & special collections list.
If you wish to setup online giving, you can set up to give weekly, monthly or yearly and it will automatical-
ly deduct at date you request. You can use debit or credit cards, and if you get points that is nice too.
Funds on deposit (Building Fund) $356,810 for major repairs
Because deposits go into separate accounts, it would greatly help if you would write separate checks for each donation and not
lump multiple donations into one check. Many Thanks.

42 years old. Land surveyor/engineering
technician. I moved from Phoenix AZ to
Escondido in November 2020. I began
attending Mass in March of 2019 after I
had spent 3 years reading the Bible. I
grew up in a Jehovah’s Witness family
and had become an atheist in 2010. I no-
ticed the social and moral decline in the
world and realized that it presented a
threat to human survival. After having
taken many college courses in various subjects, I began to real-
ize the Bible contained the answers to life’s tough questions
and that it was meant to guide all mankind in their walk of life.
An acquaintance of mine took me to Mass, where I experienced
peace I had never felt before. I came to the conclusion that if
Jesus returned that day, and he were to choose a church to be in
charge of all of his belongings, he would choose the church
that is saving the most souls from their inherited bad tenden-
cies. The Catholic Church has the most members and is the
most balanced of the Christian churches. So I decided I would
join the Catholic Church. Since then, I have faced many obsta-
cles, including the pandemic, homelessness and illness, but
have managed to stick with it.
