The Saint Michael Parish Memorial Fund provides the opportunity to make a donation in memory of a loved one. Donations can be made online selecting the Memorial Fund and including a name in the Notes section.
We extend our sympathy to you and recognize that this is a most difficult time in your life.Thank you to over 400 (and growing) Parish families who have pledged to the calendar year 2025 Offertory Commitment Program to date. We are receiving new pledges as well as increased pledges from existing donors. Parishioners continue to join our online giving program.
Please prayerfully consider supporting St. Michael Parish.
In 2002, St. Michael Parish began the Offertory Commitment Program, enabling us to rely on only one offertory collection to sustain and enhance parish programs, activities, and services. The Offertory Commitment Program has ensured our financial viability and allowed us to commit to the future of our vibrant parish. We ask, therefore, that each parishioner renew or make a new offertory commitment to assist us in meeting our operating expenses, and other financial commitments, such as our charitable giving. We invite each parishioner to prayerfully reflect upon the gifts that God has bestowed upon them and to make a commitment that reflects their thanks.
The highlights of this program are as follows:
1. All second and special collections have been eliminated with the exception of Retired Priests of the Archdiocese, Retired Religious Women, The Society of the Propagation of the Faith, and unusual circumstances such as natural disasters. St. Michael’s sets aside a percentage of our offertory to support other charitable programs locally, nationally, and internationally, including St. Vincent de Paul Society, Pastoral Outreach, and Scholarship Aid.
2. Each parishioner has the opportunity to choose that method of offertory commitment that best suits their style of giving. These contribution options include annual, semi-annual, quarterly, monthly or weekly offertory commitments.
3. If you would like to fulfill your financial commitment to the parish by using your weekly envelopes, please continue to do so. We will continue to have a single weekly offertory collection at all Masses.
4. If you would like to fulfill your financial commitment to the parish electronically, go to https://www.osvhub.com/st-michael-north-andover/giving/funds?preview= .
5. Please note that our annual Easter and Christmas Appeals will not be included in your annual commitment as these funds are used to assist in the retirement and medical needs of our priests.
Please note the following:
· Questions can be directed to [email protected]
· We assume that no response means your pledge will stay the same as your 2024 pledge.
· The parish does not have access to your online personal data. If you are changing your offertory commitment pledge, you must log on to the site to make the change yourself even if you have sent back a pledge card for 2025.
· If you have set up an online recurring donation with an expiration date of 12/31/24 you will need to set up a new pledge for 2025 for your donations to continue.
