ST. JOSEPH PARISH ONLINE GIVING


L WHAT IS ELECTRONIC GIVING? It is an Electronic Funds Transfer which enables you to have your weekly offering automatically debited from your checking account or credit card through secure transactions over the Internet. You choose how much to give, how often to give, and what method is to be used. You can also make special offertory donations for second collections and special events.

L IS THERE A FEE INVOLVED FOR USING THE PROGRAM? It’s free, convenient and gives you peace of mind knowing that St. Joseph Church will receive your stewardship even if you’re away for the weekend or on vacation.

L IS ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFER SAFE? Absolutely. Sensitive account information is rendered unreadable anywhere it is stored, and encrypted anytime it is transmitted via SSL technology. We adhere to the strictest guidelines regarding security of the financial information you provide. Sensitive information is never shared with a third party. We safeguard your system with advanced firewall, thorough anti-virus and aggressive anti-hacking technologies.

L HOW SHOULD I REGISTER? To learn more and to sign up, check out the “Electronic Giving” link on the parish website, www.stjosephmaplewood.org or pick up a leaflet at the doors of the church.

L When you have signed up for the program, you can use the “Electronic Giving Cards” available in the racks at the entrances of the church to drop in the collection basket during Mass instead of Parish Tithing envelope or cash.

L You can access your account at www.parishgiving.org at anytime with the user name and password you created at registration. You can view your contribution history, edit upcoming contributions and change your billing date and/or billing method if necessary.
