RETIREMENT FUND for RELIGIOUS
Read about the need to support the Retriement Fund for Religious in this week's bulletin. Your gift helps provide medications, nursing care, and more to the more than 30,000 senior Catholic sisters, brothers, and religious older priests.
We are taking up the Collection next Sunday, December 1st, in our regular First Sunday Second Collection, though most parishes will take it up the following Sunday. Please be generous to this cause. We will also accept your envelopes for this fund throughout the month of December. Thank you for your help!

ParishSoft Online Giving is now available. Click here for information and to sign-up on our website:
ONLINE GIVING Remember to cancel your Faith Direct online giving account before the end of November if you donate through them, so duplicate donations can be avoided.
We will phase out Faith Direct on November 30, 2019.
Thank you for helping us with this transition to our new system. If you need assistance we are happy to help you get set-up with online giving. Call the office or contact us via:
EMAIL
Please NOTE: With this system you can pick the date you wish the money to be taken out of your account for your weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, twice a month, quarterly or annually giving by clicking on the recurring link. The difference with this system and Faith Direct is twofold: One, it saves the parish money and two, it conveniently allows more flexibility for donations to be disbursed from your account on different dates (to do this you must do the different fund accounts separately so the system won't include them on the same dates).
We recommend you do your weekly first, complete that, and then go back to add you monthly donations, like: for the poor, the school, convent, etc.). There is an option to help with the processing fee charges, but not mandatory (please uncheck the box if you wish).
The special collections for Easter, Christmas and other National Diocesan Collections are also available for scheduling. Please set up separately so you can choose a date in the appropriate month for your annual donation. Again, thank you for using online giving which allows your donations to reach us even when you are away. May God bless you and return your generosity in abundance.
