| Online Giving is coming to St. Catherine's |
In the middle of May St. Catherine's will be providing the ability to contribute offertory gifts directly to the parish using the Online Giving system provided by Our Sunday Visitor, our current offering envelope provider. If you manage your own bills online, we're sure you'll like giving to your church online. It's safe and secure, and you decide exactly when your gift is made and where it goes. Online Giving lets you set up a recurring gift (weekly or monthly) or a one-time gift to our offertory and special collections. You have the freedom to give the way you want, when you want and eliminate the 'dreaded' forgotten envelope.
- EASY - starting in mid-May just visit our website www.stcmtz.org and click on the Online Giving logo.
- SAFE – meets the highest banking level security standards set forth by the Payment Card Industry (PCI)
- SECURE – you manage your own account. Give to what you want as frequently as you wish. Adjust amounts or update account information any time you want. MasterCard or VISA credit cards are accepted plus bank savings or checking accounts.
Please refer to the reverse side for details of the system benefits to both you and the parish. Also, included on the reverse side are a few commonly asked questions for your reference.
