Advancement

ON-LINE GIVING:  Consider making your contributions on-line.  Many of our parishioners enjoy the convenience, safety, and reliability of electronically paying household obligations. How about including your weekly or monthly contribution as well?  It makes giving consistent (even when ill, on vacation or away on a weekend), reliable (you make a prayerful & thoughtful decision as to what your sacrificial giving will be) and safe (contributions are received and tracked both through our stewardship computer program and on your bank statement).  We still encourage you to drop your envelope in the basket but since your money is being transferred electronically, simply mark the empty envelope “E-giver”.  Special collections can be labeled with the intention in the Title line (“St. Mary’s – Advancement” for example).  Several parishioners are already doing this (including Fr. Brian) and it is a huge help to the parish.  If you need any assistance getting started, call Kristin Hagan in Advancement
