5 ways online giving benefits you and the parish:

It's convenient… You can setup regular giving in an amount you're comfortable with, and have the gift sent when it fits in your budget. No checks or envelopes needed.

It's accessible… You can access online giving methods via website, email, social media or your mobile phone. It allows you to give on the go.

It's safe & secure… Your gifts are automatically transferred to our parish and the online giving program is a federally certified financial program.

It's consistent… With recurring gifts, you can support Mary Mother of Mercy even if you are unable to attend Mass. Consistent support month after month helps sustain ministries year-round.

It's green… Online giving is a gift to the environment because it uses fewer resources, provides you with the green alternative to contribution envelopes, and is an efficient way for the parish to process the gifts.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ONLINE GIVING

Q. I want to share with my children and grandchildren how important it is to give on Sunday, and if I eliminate envelopes, how do I model this for my children?

A. Your participation in the offertory is an integral part of Sunday Mass and is your opportunity to express gratitude for the gifts our Lord has given by returning a portion of them back. Placing your gift in the offertory basket is an act of worship and an important opportunity to model to others, especially children the spiritual discipline of giving. With online giving, you are still able to place your gift in the offertory when you use the 'Donation Slips'. These are available for you to print-off from this website, and they are small enough to keep in your purse or wallet, so you have them each week when you are at Mass.
