Giving to Our Parish Stewardship is essential to the life of our parish. There are two options available for you to give financially to the parish: paper envelopes which will be mailed to your house or electronic contributions through enrollment in Faith-Direct. Faith-Direct is an electronic giving program that allows you to make a secure donation through electronic debit from your checking account or credit on your Visa or Master card. Faith-Direct offers efficiency and simplicity by allowing you to make all of your contributions in advance, even when vacation or business takes you out of town or an illness prevents you from attending Mass. If you do choose to sign up, you will still be able to place an offertory card in the weekly basket during Mass as a visible sign of your support. These cards will be sent to you in the mail by Faith-Direct since the tradition of the offertory collection is so important to us and to our liturgy. If you would like to enroll online or would like to learn more about Faith-Direct before doing so, please visit their website at www.faithdirect.net. If you choose to enroll online, you will need our parish code: VA327.http://www.faithdirect.netshapeimage_6_link_0
Tax Savings through a Gift of Stock You may make a gift of stock as a donation to our parish or our diocese. In exchange for a gift of long-term, appreciated securities (stock), you can receive an income tax deduction and avoid capital gains taxes on stock appreciation.
