Electronic Giving
What are the advantages of electronic giving? This
method of giving normalizes our offertory collection;
it alleviates administrate costs; and it usually increases our offertory since parishioners are able to give
even when traveling.
What are the benefits for parishioners? It is convenient and easy; you have a choice of using your credit
card or making a bank transfer; you have the ability
to choose the date and frequency of your contributions; and you have the ability to make 1-time donations. Please consider electronic giving.

founded. The process provides interested adults and
older teens the opportunity to gradually become a part
of the Catholic Church, and receive the Sacraments of
Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation and the Eucharist.
Who is RCIA for?
1. Persons who have not been Baptized and desire to
become Catholic.
2. Persons baptized in another Christian tradition
who desire to become Catholic.
3. Baptized Catholics in need of 1st Communion
and/or Confirmation
