About online contributions
What's the difference between this and instructing your bank directly to make donations?
Instructing the bank: All they do is mail us a check; hopefully with some
instructions as to which purpose you had in mind, such as Regular Tithe or
Capital Campaign. This is the same as dropping a check in the basket at
church, without a numbered envelope. We still have to interpret the
intent and name of the donor.
Making donation through our system: With our system, the name of
the donor and purpose of the gift is already determined beforehand, and
just flows into our system. This is the most efficient and accurate way to
donate, and the most secure, since we don’t even see your account
numbers.
Is this system secure?
Yes. Transactions are handled through industry standard https secure access utilizing SSL 32-bit encryption.
Can I make a pledge online?
Not yet: Making a pledge for the current Annual Campaign is a feature that is not currently offered online. You will still need to fill out a pledge card to make a pledge to our annual stewardship campaign. Click here to go to the Annual Campaign page where you can download a pledge card.
Who can see my information online?
Only you: Your information is protected behind a secure login and is only accessible by you. Login credentials are only given to members who have had their identity verified by the parish office. See the instructions above on how to obtain credentials.
