"Brothers and sisters, consider this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each must do as already determined, without sadness or compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."  (2 Cor 9:6-7)

There are a number of different ways you can sustain the needs of our parish. The obvious one is by CONTRIBUTING to support parish operations (such as lights, heat, general maintenance, church supplies, literature needs such as Meditation booklets, church calendars, supplies for CGS, etc.) or to make a payment/pledge to the CATHEDRAL RENOVATION FUND or any of the other needs we have on a weekly/monthly basis.

HOW TO PAY

Payments by check can be done by noting on your check what the payment is for and then mailing it to the address at the bottom of this page. Payments by credit card are made by clicking on the "SUPPORT & DONATIONS" link (above the picture to the left). That link will take you to the Vanco site that handles our transactions. How to use that page is described in the following bulleted paragraphs, so you will want to read them first!.

• If you have previously contributed to the parish, then sign in (top right on the Vanco page), select the program listing you'd like your payment to go to, enter the amount you want to contribute, and select your payment frequency (which can be one time, weekly, or monthly—with the last two options asking how many payments you want to make of that amount before you want them automatically stopped), and then the date you want the payment(s) to start (which for a one-time payment would be only that chosen date). Once you've done all that, continue on to the payment information page where you will enter your identifying information* and credit card information* (or confirm it if you've entered and saved it on a prior visit).
• If you are a first-time user of our payments module, you must first establish an account* (top right on the Vanco page) which will also serve as your sign-in. Once you have done that then proceed as described above.
• Be sure to LOG OFF after you have completed your transaction.

* [NOTE: For those of you who are concerned about providing your personal information (and our respecting your privacy), you should know that the IRS requires that payments made to any non-profit organization must include basic information so that a statement for tax purposes can be sent to you. We do NOT use that information for any other purpose.]
