Recommendation for Automated Donations
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.)
Will the parish automatically stop sending me envelopes when I sign up for automated donations? If you choose automatic donations, the Parish will stop sending personalized envelopes to your family. If you sign up for Bill Pay and Credit Card donations, please contact the parish office at 920-788-7640 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. Alternatively, you are always welcome to provide an additional donation at Mass. For tax purposes, please indicate your family number on the envelope of any non automated donations you make.
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. For tax purposes, please indicate your family number on the envelope of any non automated donations you make.
