Stewarding Our Gifts: Electronic Giving Options (PDF)
EFT — You can set up recurring Electronic Transfer of Funds (ACH) through your bank online or by filling out a form and bringing it to the Parish Office. The benefit of this way of giving is that the Newman Center incurs no fees with this method, meaning 100% of your donation goes directly to the parish!
Envelopes / Checks — Registered parishioners receive monthly offertory envelopes. Checks can be made payable to “St. Thomas More Newman Center” and either placed in the offertory basket at Mass or mailed to the parish. All registered parishioners will receive a packet of their envelopes for the month. If you sign up for an electronic giving option, you will only receive the quarterly special giving envelopes.
Online giving — Online giving allows parishioners to donate to the offertory (or other special collections from time to time) using a credit/debit card or directly from your bank account. Newman inurs small fees (3% for credit/debit cards and 1% for bank accounts) using this avenue.Parishioners can make one-time donations or set up a recurring gift.
Venmo — Giving through the Venmo app is now available! Venmo is a mobile payment service owned by PayPal. No charges are incurred by you or the Newman Center with this method of giving. Download the Venmo app, set up your bank account, and search for @comonewman.
Non-Traditional Gift Options – Would you prefer to make your offertory gift through a stock transfer, your IRA distributions, or annuity? Visit this page for more information on how these gift methods can save you time and reduce your taxes!
