God is Deeply in Love with Us!
Holy Spirit Finance Council is recommending that its parishioners consider the use of automated donations as a safe, easy, and flexible way to support the Parish. In addition to the other benefits, the use of automated donations could save the church up to $3600/year in printing and mailing costs along with countless volunteer hours processing the weekly envelopes. It is important to note that automated donations are easy for the Donor and offer complete flexibility to change or discontinue donations. In fact, most parishioners already use automated bank and credit card payments for many of their repetitive payments (like utility bills and health club memberships.)
ACH (Automatic Bank Withdrawal) – allows you to schedule a designated amount to be withdrawn from your checking or savings account and transferred to Holy Spirit.
No bank fees to Holy Spirit or you.
Bill Pay — allows you to process a repetitive payment using your bank or private party “bill pay” system by simply identifying that the payments will be made to Holy Spirit Parish, 620 E. Kimberly Ave., Kimberly, WI 54136. Be sure to enter a description in the memo to direct where you want your funds applied.
No bank fees to Holy Spirit or you.
Startups, changes, and discontinuations are done through your online banking.
Credit Card — allows you to make repetitive or one-time donations using your Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express cards through the PayPal buttons below.
Bank fees charged by PayPal-2.2% + $0.30 per transaction to Holy Spirit.
Your weekly or monthly recurring or one-time donation to Holy Spirit Parish can now be automated using PayPal. Highlight the amount you would like to donate from the drop-down menu, select the Subscribe button below the correct dropdown menu, and then complete the transaction with PayPal.
If you have not used PayPal before, you will have an opportunity to create an account. MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover are accepted.
Startup, changes, and discontinuations are done through your PayPal Account.
Thank you for your donation.
Will the parish automatically stop sending me envelopes when I sign up for automated donations?
If you choose ACH donations, the Parish will automatically stop sending envelopes. If you sign up for Bill Pay and Credit Card donations, please contact the parish office at 788-7640 and advise them that you no longer need the weekly envelopes.
What if I want to use automated donations but still want to put something in the collection basket at Church?
At the entrance of church or in the pews, you will find a small paper that indicates that “My gift is done electronically”. Feel free to take one of these and drop it in the basket.
Will my automated donations be included in my year-end tax statement?
Yes, the parish will include automated donations in your year-end tax statement.
How much money will the Parish save through the use of automated donations?
The parish currently spends over $3600 per year printing and mailing the weekly envelopes. This expense can be eliminated or dramatically reduced through the use of automated donations.
What if I am not comfortable using automated donations?
We recognize that automated donations are not for everyone. If you prefer to continue to use the weekly envelopes or simply to donate as you are able to in the collection basket, please feel free to continue these practices.
Drop-into the collection basket during Mass, Church Envelopes, checks, money, and prayer intentions.
