How do I  contribute to the online offertory?

If you choose to make a recurring gift, you will immediately receive an email to create a donor account you can use to schedule and track automatic giving. 

What are the benefits of online Offertory and payments?

1. Efficient - Electronic reporting tracks all gift transactions (from submission to receival) and saves hours of bookkeeping. There is less chance of human error, miscounting, or misplacing donations. Gifts are quickly deposited for parish use.
2. Secure - Unlike automatic deduction enrollment, parish staff never have to collect and store financial information of parishioners. Fewer amounts of cash are on hand at Masses and in the parish office.
3. Dynamic - Increases ways to promote and receive gifts for needs beyond regular office hours and geographical borders.

When are my gifts automatically taken from my account?

One-time gifts are immediately processed and the transaction should on your bank/credit card statement within a few days.

If you chose to make a recurring gift, your first donation will process immediately, or on the date you choose. Then, you will receive an email to create an online donor account. Your account allows you to choose the frequency of your gifts as well as a date on which the funds will be automatically withdrawn from a checking account or charged to a credit card. You can also pause or cancel a recurring gift at any time. If you ever need help with your recurring gift, you can email Kaitlyn at: [email protected], and she will help you with any questions.

What will happen to my weekly envelopes if I give online?

If you set up an online donor account, you will still receive your collection envelopes, unless you let Kaitlyn know to discontinue sending them.  By discontinuing them, you save the parish the cost of printing and sending them, and can rest assured that your gift to the parish is received without the need for envelopes.  Discontinuing the envelopes is easy by simply emailing Kaitlyn at: [email protected] to let her know.

What if my bank account or credit card information changes?

Upon submitting a one-time gift, all information provided will be verified in order for the gift to process.

If a donor has a recurring gift, they will be able to log into their online donor account to make any necessary changes or updates to banking account, credit card, and contact information. Donor accounts also allow donors to update any details to their gifts including pausing or cancelling a scheduled gift.

What if I try an online donor account but do not wish to continue using it?

Recurring gift accounts can be set up or cancelled at anytime. In addition, an individual recurring gift can be paused or cancelled completely. If you attempt to cancel a gift after it has begun processing, you will need to contact Kaitlyn, the parish bookkeeper, for a refund. Her email is: [email protected]

How do I sign up for an online donor account?

Accounts are created upon submitting an online gift from the our website. When submitting a gift, select the gift type to be recurring. Next, you will be sent an email notification to set up your new online donor account. Follow the simple instructions within the email to get started.

Always be sure to check email spam and junk folders for that first email notification. If you don’t see an email after submitting your first gift, simply contact Kaitlyn, the parish bookkeeper, to have account setup information sent to you.
