What is automated giving?

Automated Giving is a program which allows parishioner contributions to be automatically withdrawn from their bank account on a periodic basis. Once you enroll in the program, your specified contribution is electronically transferred directly from your checking or savings account to the parish’s account.

What is the advantage of automated giving?

It costs you nothing. It will save you time and money. It is safer than writing checks. It also helps stabilize the church’s budget.

Is automated giving risky?

Automated Giving or ACH transactions (automated clearing house) are a safe and reliable way to make stewardship contributions. ACH payments are regulated by the Federal Reserve Bank. There are rules and regulations in place to protect you against unauthorized transactions, similar to the protection you enjoy when using a credit card. All information received by the Parish will be held in strict confidence and kept in a safe location.
