To strengthen
stewardship at Saint Robert's we request that you to consider a new, easier way to support our parish…Automated Giving.
What is Automated Giving?
An alternate way to support Saint Robert's instead of weekly envelopes. In
lieu of weekly collections, the ParishPay program will collect monthly
contributions from your checking, savings, or credit card account. There
is NO cost to participate in the program.
What are the benefits to me?
-
Allows you to plan
your giving, in the same way you budget your other financial
commitments.
-
You no longer have
to be concerned about catching-up on missed offertory donations when
you miss a Mass because you are out of town, on vacation, ill, etc.
-
You can easily
adjust the amount of your automated contribution (up or down)
through the Parish Office or do it yourself via secure website access.
-
You no longer need
to write a check every week.
How does it relate to the use of the weekly envelopes?
If
you choose to participate in the ParishPay program, this will
replace your weekly envelopes.
I feel
uncomfortable not having something to physically drop into the
collection basket. What should I do?
Special
donation slips are available for those enrolled in the
ParishPay program to be dropped into the collection basket, should you
wish.
What about Special Collections?
You
can specify your giving level for special collections and special
celebration dates (e.g., Christmas, Easter) when you join the ParishPay
program, or anytime thereafter.
How
do I enroll?
- By envelope:
complete the enrollment form (available in the Parish Office) and
return it to the Parish Office or drop it in the collection basket
at Mass
- Online:
go to www.parishpay.com,
locate St. Robert's parish, and complete the enrollment form; or
click on the "Sign up for ParishPay" link on the St. Robert's home
page
-
By phone:
call the toll free number 1-866-727-4741 and a ParishPay
representative will assist you directly
If you have questions or need more information, please
