The United Thank Offering (UTO) is a program of The Episcopal Church for the mission of the whole Church. It was founded by and administered by women and will celebrate its 120th birthday next year. UTO is entrusted to promote and receive thank offerings and to distribute the monies through grants. A committee awards and administers the grants within a framework developed by the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the The Episcopal Church. In 2008, a total of 91 grants amounting to almost two and a half million dollars were awarded. 75% of these grants remained in the United States and the remaining were shared throughout the world. Our offerings and prayers are a way to help provide for this important ministry of The Episcopal Church. Please support this outreach effort. You will find UTO envelopes enclosed in your bulletin in church on Sunday morning. Checks should be made payable to St. Mary’s-UTO and placed in the offering plate, sent directly to the office, or given to Amy Molloy.
