electronic giving
Offertory donations through electronic systems has become the preferred method of making contributions to parishes in the U.S.
A shift to this format has resulted in a substantial increase in annual offertory income - some parishes have achieved 50% or higher percentage of parishioner participation using this method.
43% of St. Michael Parish donations have been made electronically in the past 6 months.
Thank you to St. Michael Parish electronic donors!

OFFERTORY COMMITMENT PROGRAM (OCP)- Opportunity to choose the method that best suits your style of giving.
- We will continue to have a single weekly offertory collection at all Masses.
- All second and special collections have been eliminated except for Retired Priests of the Archdiocese, Retired Religious Women, the Society of the Propagation of the Faith, and unusual circumstances such as natural disasters.
- 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.

This option of giving allows you to make all electronic donations from your bank account as well as credit card donations. This is a self-service application where parishioners can view their giving history as well as pre-schedule giving. There is no need to share confidential account information with the parish.
The parish does not have access to your personal data. If you are changing your pledge dollar amount or payment method, you must log on to the site to make the change yourself even if you have sent back an offertory pledge card.

In this past year of the pandemic, the Archdiocese's team of experts have been there to guide us as we returned to the celebration of public Masses and kept our school open and thriving. The Appeal also supports seminarians, like our newly ordained parochial vicar, Fr. Joe. When you support the Catholic Appeal, you are providing our parish with much needed resources and so much more! Many thanks to those who have already contributed.
