Automated Giving for Collections
As part of our total stewardship plan, we are called to share a portion of our financial resources. As Christian stewards, we are invited, through prayer, to create a financial plan. Having automated giving for parish collections allows parishioners to more easily carry out their financial plan and keep their giving a priority.
Some Benefits to Parishioners:
- An easier and more responsible way to live out their financial stewardship commitment by keeping it a priority.
- No need to search for envelopes or the checkbook on Sunday morning!
- No need to “make-up” for vacation or other ‘out of town’ Sundays.
- Offertory cards should be provided for continued active participation in the Liturgy.
- Facilitates effective tax planning and recordkeeping.
- Peace of mind.
Some Benefits to the Parishes:
- Assisting parishioners with their financial stewardship commitment.
- A more reliable revenue stream.
- Processing weekly collections will become less time consuming.
- Minimizes cash in the parish and allows for immediate availability of funds.
- Statistically, automated givers not only give a larger gift amount, but that gift is considerably higher due to the 52 week consistency.
- A savings on envelope expense.
- Significant increases from only a few families enrolled.
