To assist parishioners in their commitment to Sacrificial Giving, the Church Support Committee introduced a new tool, Sustained Giving, in 2004. Sustained Giving is a program that will allow interested parishioners to utilize automatic withdrawals from their checking account for their offertory gifts. The following are highlights of the program:
- You will be able to enroll in the Sustained Giving program with a simple form from the parish web site, from the parish office, or in the bulletin.
- Once you enroll in the program, your designated offertory amount will be automatically withdrawn from your specified bank account (checking, only) on the 3rd Monday of each month.
- Remember that withdrawals will be done on a monthly basis; so you’ll need to make sure that you convert your intended weekly giving amount to a monthly amount. When filling out your enrollment form, consider your annual giving amount and divide by twelve.
- The Sustained Giving program will allow you to continue to make offertory gifts even when you’re not able to attend Mass and, best of all, can help reduce the number of monthly checks you write.
- You will continue to receive envelopes in the present program. If you wish, you may mark the weekly envelope with an “E” (for electronic) and drop in the baskets on Sunday. In addition, you will have the special contribution and Holy Day envelopes in your packets that you may continue to utilize as you have in the past. This program is focused on regular, Sunday giving.
