St. John of the Cross Parish

eGiving with Faith Direct

Many of you are aware and take advantage of the convenience of electronic giving to our parish and we are grateful for that.  We believe it is time to upgrade to a more streamlined online provider for our eGiving needs through Faith Direct.  For those of you who have yet to join us in giving online, I strongly encourage you to do so.  Here’s why:
Faith Direct enables parishioners to make your Church contributions through either direct debit from your checking/savings account or through your credit/debit card.  No more writing checks or searching for envelopes on the way out the door.  Now you can apply the convenience of direct debit to your parish offerings in much the same way as you may now use it to make your mortgage, car or tuition payments. Faith Direct also offers you personalized offertory cards to replace your envelopes for the collection basket.
Visit faith.direct/OH960 to enroll securely online.
