On Line Giving
We've signed up with an on line giving provider. It's a partnership between a company called Vanco and ACS Technologies that provides our church accounting software. Because of the current pandemic and the closing of the church we felt that a more convenient and secure way of handling pledge payments is needed. There is no cost to you, our parishioners for use of this service. There is a normal credit card or bank handling charge charge billed to the church. Payment of the handling charge is optional. You can sign up for this service using a PC or laptop computer. Instructions on how to sign up for this service can be downloaded by clicking here
A smartphone can also be used for setup andto make contributions. See the instruction sheet for directions
