GIVING Many people have asked how they can continue to financially support St. Michael Parish. As you may know, the St. Michael operating budget is 100% dependent on offertory donations throughout the year. About 45% of our donations come through electronic giving, primarily through WeShare and autodraft. The balance of giving comes through the Sunday collection.
It is also true that during this crisis, many people will suffer financial hardship through the temporary loss of employment, a reduction in investment-based retirement income, or the need to support other family members. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is ready to assist during this time.
Keeping in mind both of these realities, we ask that you consider the following, remembering that no one is expected to financially endanger themselves or their family:
Please continue to support St. Michael Parish through your donations.
Mail in your usual donation amount by check.
UseWeShare, our online giving platform (click here). You can set up one-time or recurring donations using your bank account or credit card. If you previously have not set up your account in WeShare, you can do so easily. Remember, you have total control over your giving using WeShare.
You can text stmikes to 555888. This will connect you directly to our WeShare giving platform, and you easily can set up your online giving details.
Please consider a donation to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul has activated a Vincentian Relief Fund, and they are asking for donations to assist with the increase in request for help that they are receiving.
In this time period, St. Michael Parish has suspended discretionary spending. We are focused on carefully stewarding the donations of our parishioners so that the essential work of the Church can continue.
We will be here throughout this time of crisis—we are here for you. Please help us maintain that presence as you are able.
