I'm going to attend Mass in church again. Shouldn't I cancel my online giving?
Please, do not go back to envelope donations. In fact, if you haven't yet signed up for electronic giving, we ask that you
please consider doing so. The convenience and safety of recurring electronic giving will always be most beneficial for
our parish under any circumstance.
While we are happy to begin a return to church, we all must continue to minimize health risks to parishioners, clergy,
staff, and volunteers. As such, in-pew materials and offertory collections are prohibited for the foreseeable future. We
encourage those with COVID symptoms, heightened vulnerability, or other health conditions, to stay home. If in doubt,
please stay home.
Your continued use of electronic giving is critical to our ability to minister safely, and maintain stability as we move
forward. Your generosity is always so greatly appreciated; Thank You.
