eGiving with
Faith Direct
This month we are introducing a new and exciting way for you to
support our parish offertory and second collections: Faith Direct.
Faith Direct enables parishioners to make your Church contributions through either direct debit from your checking/savings
account or through your credit/debit card. No more writing
checks or searching for envelopes on the way out the door. Now
you can apply the convenience of direct debit to your parish offerings in much the same way as you may now use it to make
your mortgage, car or tuition payments. Faith Direct also offers
you personalized offertory cards to replace your envelopes for
the collection basket.
Please enroll by responding to the mailing you will receive or
visit www.faithdirect.net to enroll securely online. Our parish
code is TX653.
Este mes, vamos a introducir una manera nueva para apoyar a la
parroquia y contribuir a las colectas especiales: Faith Direct.
Con Faith Direct, se puede contribuir a las colectas a través de
una cuenta corriente o con una tarjeta de crédito. Ya no es necesario ni escribir un cheque ni buscar sobres el domingo por la
mañana. Ahora se puede aprovechar la conveniencia del débito
directo para contribuir a la colecta parroquial de una manera parecida al pago de la hipoteca y la matrícula de la universidad.
Además, Faith Direct ofrece cartas personalizadas para sustituir
el uso de sobres para la canasta de la colecta. Espero que Uds. se
inscriban conmigo en el programa por responder al correo que
van a recibir o por visitar www.faithdirect.net para inscribirse en
línea de manera segura. Nuestro código parroquial es TX653.
