You can donate to the church using your credit card. This method allows you to enjoy the benefits associated with the credit card points. This option is easy once set up as it happens automatically. The best way to make this method work is to do the following.
If you have not already done so via the annual pledge card, send a short letter to the envelope secretary. State that you would like the church to make monthly charges to your credit card for a specific amount. Your account will be charged at approximately mid-month. Please provide the following information in your letter.
- VISA or MasterCard (the only accepted credit cards)
- Card number
- Expiry date
- The signature of the owner of the card on the letter. If the card is jointly owned, both owners must sign the letter.
The donation will be recorded and the amount transferred to the church. All contributions are tracked in a secure computer program with limited access. Only the envelope secretary, his or her assistant, and the parish administrator have access. Early in next year, you will receive a donations receipt. This receipt shows the total you donated to St. John’s during this year and, if applicable, lists the different funds to which you donated. If no funds are specified, your donations go into general funds
