We are no longer recording loose checks that are placed in the collection.  You are certainly welcome to write a check, but, if you want your contributions to be included on your end-of-year statement, you will need to either use your envelopes (or use one of the “Welcome” envelopes available on the credenza in the commons area and include your name, address and envelope number) or sign up for Faith Direct, our electronic giving program.  If you aren’t getting envelopes and would like them, please contact the parish office.  We can also let you know what your envelope number is if you don’t know what it is.

If you are a registered parishioner and would like an end-of-year statement sent to you, please call the parish office. We are happy to send statements to those who want them, but we do not automatically send them out without a request.
