Through Faith Direct you can make all of your contributions to St. George Catholic Church via automatic payment from your checking account or credit card – just as you may do now with your mortgage, household bills, and other monthly payments. This is a great way to simplify your giving – and it’s the most cost-effective, environmentally-friendly way for us to receive your gifts.
For you and your family, Faith Direct offers many benefits including –
Flexibility. You can choose the amount and timing of your contributions and designate your preferred source for them. There is no cost to you to enroll and you can adjust or stop your donations at any time.
Convenience. Once you designate your preferences, your contributions will be made automatically for you. You can manage your donations easily online or by telephone. You may also choose to make payments for things such as YFF registration through Faith Direct!
Reliability. Electronic giving is an ideal way for you to send your regular contributions – even when vacation or business takes you out of town, or an illness prevents you from attending Mass.
Choosing to give electronically helps Saint George Parish in many ways:
It will save our parish considerable time and expense.
It helps bring consistency to our parish by giving us a better idea of the funds we will have coming in week after week so we can make our ministries and programs as far-reaching and effective as possible.
It reduces the unavoidable built-in waste of using traditional envelopes. Most of the thousands of envelopes sent out go unused and are thrown away – and every envelope, whether it’s used or not, means the destruction of trees and our natural resources. Through automated giving you will not only be helping to strengthen our Church – you’ll be helping to preserve God’s green earth! (When we receive notification that you have signed up, we will discontinue your envelopes.)
Many parishes in our Archdiocese and others nationwide have already experienced the benefits of this program.
Because the tradition of the offertory collection is so important to all of us and to our liturgy, if you wish, Faith Direct will provide you with personalized “offertory cards” that you can choose to place in the collection basket as a visible sign of your support. We also have reusable "offertory cards" available in the rack across from the Calming Room that you are welcome to use.
