Help to sustain your church with the 

security and convenience of Online Giving.

Your Offertory donation is the main source of income for our parish, which help us cover all budgeted operating expenses. To assist you with your generous and consisting giving during the year, we have two electronic giving options for your consideration. Both systems can be used to make your Offertory donation, special collections, flower donation, Holy Day donations and others.


Our parish has been using an Online Giving system that is strengthening stewardship as well as making it easier for members to support our parish. We currently have 164 families signed up through various Online Giving sources. They include WeShare, Charitable Giving Funds and Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) through your bank.



There are many benefits for the parish and for parishioners that choose to give online. Some of the benefits for the parishioner include: no need to write checks; you can give even if you are unable to attend services; and your contribution amount can easily be adjusted.


The benefits for the parish include: more consistent giving with recurring contributions; electronic donation summaries for record keeping; reaches a wider demographic of givers; and accommodates all special parish collections and missions.
