Frequently Asked Questions about the Electronic Giving Program

What is the Electronic Giving Program?
It is an electronic offering program for our parishioners who are given the opportunity to sign up to have their offering conveniently transferred from their checking or savings account into the church's bank account every month.

Why checking/savings account transfers?
Today, people are willing to have money transferred from their bank accounts to pay insurance premiums, utility bills, mortgages, fitness memberships and more. The reason is convenience and the certainty that a payment won't be skipped. For the same reasons, the Electronic Giving Program benefits those who want to faithfully and consistently provide their offerings to the church.

Will it cost me anything?
No, the church will cover the small monthly service and transaction fees.

How often will I be able to give electronically?
The dates available for an account to be debited are the 10th and 25th of each month. If the 10th or the 25th fall on a weekend or holiday, the debit will occur on the next business day. Accounts can be debited monthly, semi-monthly or quarterly.

Can I change the amount of my offering transfer?
Yes, you may do so by calling the church accounting office at (703) 590-0030. Additional gifts may be placed in the offering plates on Sundays. You also will be able to direct your second collections by using drop down boxes on line.

What are the benefits?

	Parishioners who work on weekends, go away on vacation, are out of town on Sundays or are no longer able to attend church due to health reasons can stay financially connected to the church. Parishioners won't have to worry about forgetting their envelopes. Transfer giving makes it easier to manage church budgets because the church can rely on guaranteed income every month.
