Giving online is easy and simple. Just create an account and then choose how much you want to give and when. You don't have to remember to bring a check to Mass or to mail your offertory gift when you are away on vacation. Everything is done automatically.

This makes giving easier for you and it helps your church by ensuring a steady income flow.

With the cancellation of Masses because of the COVID-19 pandemic, our parishioners have asked about online giving. Some ask with a bit of trepidation because they do not consider themselves “tech savvy.”  Rest assured – you do not need to be tech savvy to give online.

     Who gives online?
     I do! And I’ve been doing it for years because it is so easy and convenient.
     In the midst of a hectic world, I often found myself pulling out my checkbook to quickly scribble my offertory check just before leaving the house for Sunday morning Mass. Sometimes I did that in the car on the way to church. Hate to admit it, but I might have even filled out the check while sitting in the pew just before the start of Mass.
     Then I discovered online giving. What a relief!
     I was inspired by a TV commercial I saw years ago in which a woman puts a dish in the microwave and sets the timer for a minute. Then she sits down at the computer conveniently located on the kitchen counter and pays bill after bill through online banking before the microwave timer goes off.
     Impressive! Could it really be that easy and quick?
     Yes, it could! I’ve been doing online banking ever since and online giving for church was simply an extension of that. My donations are deposited to the church’s account even when I’m on vacation, staying home because of the pandemic, or not attending Mass because I’m sick.
     The first step is to sign up for an account.
     Go to ButlerAreaCatholicParishes.org/give. You’ll see our five parishes listed in BIG BLUE LETTERS. Click on the name of your parish and look for “Create Your Online Profile” (for St. Andrew and St. Fidelis) or “Create New Account” (for St. Michael the Archangel, St. Paul or St. Peter).
     The website prompts you to fill in your name, address, email. Then you need to create a user name and password.
     You have two options for payments. Your donations can be automatically withdrawn from your bank account or your credit card. Some people like the credit card option because they get points or cash back for their transactions.
     Each church’s online giving info is a little different. (Once we become one parish in July 2021, this will be streamlined into one account for all five churches.) The bottom line is that you choose a category (such as Offertory or Parish Share) and list how much you want to give and how often (weekly, monthly, yearly, etc.)
     The online giving websites prompt you on what you need to do. Once you have everything set up, you can sit back and relax. No more writing checks or remembering to bring cash to church. Your donations will be deposited electronically in your church’s account safely and securely.

     We realize you might still have questions. If you need help, please email ButlerAreaCatholicParishes@gmail.com or leave a message at St. Fidelis at 724-482-2690 ext. 0. Someone from our staff will get in touch to help you. 
 

You may mail your offertory envelopes to your parish office. Although some of our offices are closed, we still collect the mail to ensure your donations are deposited in a timely manner.

Because of health concerns regarding the coronavirus pandemic, we prefer that you mail in your contributions during this difficult time.
