Why Give online?

Online donations and payments provide a simple and convenient way for parishioners to tithe, contribute gifts for a specific need, or pay for event tickets and programs. There is no longer a need to locate checkbooks, remember weekly envelopes, or mail in funds. Easily give directly on the parish website, or set up a recurring donor account to give automatically and never miss an envelope again.

For donors:

- Convenient - Give anytime from any device with an internet connection, and even choose to set up an automatic recurring gift account for regular tithing.
- Easy - Never be directed to a separate site or submit multiple forms.
- Effective - Electronic communication confirms all gifts, and recurring gift accounts keep donation records. No more guessing if your gift was received, or misplacing envelopes of checks or cash.
For parishes:
- Efficient - Electronic reporting tracks all gift transactions (from submission to receival) and saves hours of bookkeeping. There is less chance of human error, miscounting, or misplacing donations. Gifts are quickly deposited for parish use.
- Secure - Unlike automatic deduction enrollment, parish staff never have to collect and store financial information of parishioners. Fewer amounts of cash are on hand at Masses and in the parish office.
- Dynamic - Increases ways to promote and receive gifts for needs beyond regular office hours and geographical borders.

Is it safe? Are there risks?

The online donations and payments system meets the same security standards as online banking. Plus, your online gifts cannot be lost or stolen. So as long as you are using a secure internet connection, online gifts can have fewer risks than carrying cash and checks. And there is instant tracking and recording of all transactions.
