The Benefits of Faith Direct

Through Faith Direct you can make all of your contributions to St. John Neumann via automatic payment from your checking account or credit card – just as you may do now with your mortgage, household bills, and other monthly payments. This is a great way to simplify your giving – and it’s the most cost-effective, environmentally-friendly way for us to receive your gifts.

By supporting our parish through Faith Direct, you will be part of an innovative new way of giving that saves time, money, and resources.

Benefits to You

For you and your family, Faith Direct offers many benefits including–

  • Flexibility - You can choose the amount and timing of your contributions and designate your preferred source for them. There is no cost to you to enroll and you can adjust or stop your donations at any time.
  • Convenience - Once you designate your preferences, your contributions will be made automatically for you. You can manage your donations easily online.
  • Reliability - Electronic giving is an ideal way for you to send your regular contributions – even when vacation or business takes you out of town, or an illness prevents you from attending Mass.

Benefits for Our Church

Choosing to give electronically helps St. John Neumann in many ways:

  • It will save our parish considerable time and expense.
  • It helps bring consistency to our parish by giving us a better idea of the funds we will have coming in week after week so we can make our ministries and programs as far-reaching and effective as possible.
  • It reduces the unavoidable built-in waste of using traditional envelopes. Most of the envelopes sent out go unused and are thrown away, and every envelope, whether it's used or not, means destruction of trees and our natural resources. Through automated giving you will not only be helping to strengthen our Church, you will be helping to preserve God's green earth!

What Will I Do When they Pass the Offertory Basket?

Because the tradition of the offertory collection is so important to all of us and to our liturgy, Faith Direct will provide you with personalized “offertory cards” that you can choose to place in the collection basket as a visible sign of your support.
