The Cheerful Giver
"The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
2 Corinthians 9:6-7
Online Giving through GivePlus+
We are pleased to announce to the members and supporters of St Alphonsus Parish a new way to support the church – via online giving. We invite you to join our new electronic giving program to automate your offerings and view your complete online giving history all at your own convenience.
To get started simply follow these easy steps:
Visit https://bit.ly/2IoKVnQ
Click the Create Profile button, then follow the onscreen instructions to create an online profile and to schedule your contributions. Your contributions can be ongoing – weekly, every other week, monthly, or can be one-time
donations. They can be direct from your checking account (ACH) or charged to a credit or debit card. There are options for selecting where you would like your contribution to go - to our general operating fund or to the New Parish Hall Building fund. And you can choose to include the processing fees in your contribution as well. For an ACH transaction the fee is $ .35. For a debit/credit card transaction, the fee is 2.65%. For example, if you set up a weekly contribution of $25.00, the credit card fee would be $ .66. This does not cover all the fees but will definitely help us out. You will receive an email confirming your donation, and one will be sent to the parish for posting to your contribution record.
If you have any questions or issues, please call the Office and Susan will be glad to help you. Thank you for your generosity to our little parish!
Save the Date for the Reverse Raffle on Feb. 6th!
If you would like to order t-shirts or hoodies, order forms are available in the back of Church. Will be placing an order around September 1st. Please turn in to Susan in the Office or in the collection basket thhis weekend.
