To provide an additional, and easier way to support St. Margaret Mary financially, our parish has partnered with ParishPay, a nationwide company that helps provide a simple means to automate your contributions to the parish and to the Renew the Heart Campaign. Please consider using this new way to support our parish.

ParishPay provides an alternate way to give instead of using envelopes. Instead of weekly envelopes, the program will collect monthly contributions from your checking, savings, or credit card account. There is no cost to you.

Automated giving:

• Means no more check writing or envelopes to remember
• Allows you to plan your giving, in the same way you budget your other financial commitments
• Means you no longer have to be concerned about catching up missed Offertory gift when you miss a Mass because you are out of town, on vacation, ill, etc.
• Provides you the means to manage your account online at www.parishpay.com, where you can adjust the amount of your monthly contribution, get a record of your giving, etc.

You can enroll by filling out an enrollment form and sending to the parish office, signing up at www.parishpay.com, or calling 1-866-PARISH-1. The process takes about three minutes.

There is no cost to parishioners. St. Margaret Mary pays a fee of about 2% of donations using automatic debits to a checking, savings, or brokerage account. St. Margaret Mary pays a total of 4% to 5% of donations using a credit card.

After setting up your account, ParishPay will process authorized donations on the 5th of every month and credit all collected funds to the parish's bank account. If the 5th is not a business day, then donations are processed on the next business day. All new enrollments and transactions are input at ParishPay within a week of receipt.

Enrollment is good until cancelled, and parishioners do not need to re-register every year. Parishioners can stop their donations at any time. Parishioners can also donate a one-time gift, or specify an end date for donations. One-time gifts are received through credit card only.

ParishPay will never release any financial information to any party for any reason, except as required by law. For more information, please read the privacy policy, located at www.parishpay.com, or obtain a copy at the parish office.

Thank you for your continuing generosity to St. Margaret Mary. We hope you will take advantage of this new option. If you have questions, please call Michael Prus at 369-0777, or e-mail at .
