Are you a person who pays bills online or has them withdrawn automatically from your account? Now you can have that same convenience for your Church contributions.
There are two ways you can donate:
1) Current e-Giving Program: Authorize your contributions to be safely transferred to a Church account. Forms are available on our parish website under ‘Electronic Giving’, in the Parish Office or in the back of church. For more information contact: Debra Rios at 215-673-5177, ext. 22
2) New Program: Donate via ‘Parish Giving’. This program gives more flexibility for online Sunday contributions, in addition to special collections like Christmas, Easter, Holy days, and diocesan collections. You have your own personal account and can make changes at any time. Credit cards can be used with this program, also. If you would like to sign up for Parish Giving, please click Parish Giving Sign-up..
Are electronic contributions risky? No, all electronic transactions are governed by strict rules. No one can deduct money from your account automatically unless you specifically authorize it.
What do I do with my weekly envelopes? You may continue using the envelope, noting on it that you give electronically. With the exception of the school families, those that do not wish to receive the weekly envelopes please let us know at the number below. All contributions received will be recorded and included in your year-end statement of contributions.
If I sign up, when will my first contributions be transferred? Weekly transfers will begin the Monday following receipt of your application and every Monday subsequent to that. For holidays falling on a Monday, the transfer will occur on Tuesday. If you sign up for a monthly transfer, the transfer will occur on the first Monday of the month following receipt of your application. Monthly transfers will occur every first Monday of the month (or Tuesday in the case of a holiday).
Can I make other contributions electronically (i.e. Block, Christmas, Easter)? Not with e-giving, The new Parish Giving program does give you this ability.
Who do I contact if I have additional questions or if I need to update my information? Please contact Debra Rios at 215-673-5177 or contact Debra by email at [email protected].
