Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Automatic Giving

Why does the wrong parish giving site display?  I clicked the correct one.  Simply close your web browser, relaunch it, and try again.  This issue occurs when clicking into both of the giving sites during the same browser session, and is related to your brower's cache.

What is automatic giving?  It’s an optional, new way for parishioners to make regular or one-time offerings to the parish automatically from your bank account or credit card (Mastercard or Visa).  It’s very similar to making charitable donations or paying bills on-line.

Why are we doing this?  For you – Convenience, no need to write checks, better align giving with your income, allows you to give when unable to attend Mass, keeps a record of giving for taxes.  For the parish - Improves regular giving, provides better forecasting of revenues, more accurate, saves parish staff time, improves financial security by reducing the amount of cash and sensitive data at the Church.

How do I set it up?  Visit the secure website, operated by our collection envelope vendor, and follow the instructions to set up an account.  You will need your bank account or credit card information handy to complete this process.  You also need an email account for registration.

Is it safe and secure?  Yes.  The website uses the same encryption and security features used by websites you use for on-line shopping and bill-paying.  Your account information is secure.

Does it cost me anything?  No fee is charged to you.  However, the parishes do pay our vendor a small fee for each transaction, which should be offset by more regular giving by parishioners.
