As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are called to a life of generosity and commitment. After we have committed ourselves to following Jesus, we need to understand what options we have to work with to make our gifts of Treasure. Please see below for ways to give, today. 

Holy Spirit Parish initiates these transactions.  A parishioner has to complete an Automated Giving form and return it to the Parish Office.  Holy Spirit Parish withdrawals the designated contribution from parishioners’ checking/savings accounts either on the 10th or 20th of the month, as selected by the parishioner.  Automated giving remains in effect until the parishioner indicates in writing that they no longer want the withdrawals to take place. To sign up, download the Automated Giving Form, above, and email it to the parish office or drop it off.  To increase/decrease automated giving amounts, contact the parish accountants.

Online banking is offered at every bank.  The account holder sets up different “payees” to pay their bills.  The account holder can set Holy Spirit as a “payee” and create a payment to send automatically to Holy Spirit.  To sign up log onto your online banking. For assistance in set-up contact their customer service number. 

Tithing envelopes are sent to a registered parishioner unless you have indicated you do not want to receive envelopes.  Please notify Ariel Winterhalter at [email protected] with any questions.

The individual initiates this process.  Click the yellow "DONATE"  button on this page.  You can use a credit card or debit card.  Holy Spirit Parish does NOT access to your account, account number, or personal information. Regular credit card fees are charged to Holy Spirit Parish.  

Many parishioners make gifts of stock to our parishes and school. They find with this benefit, that they can avoid capital gains tax on the sale of appreciated stock and receive a charitable income tax reduction and know that you have used this financial gift from God to further the impact of the ministerial and outreach work of our parish.

Employee matching gift programs are corporate giving programs in which the company matches donations made by employees to eligible nonprofit organizations.  It is an easy way for our parishioners to double their contribution to Holy Spirit Parish.
 
 To find out if your company has a matching gift program, contact your human resource department.

December is an important month for IRA and 401(k) owners who are over age 73. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) reminds taxpayers over age 73 to take a required minimum distribution (RMD) by December 31. Because some retirement plan custodians take time to process RMD requests, you should start your IRA or 401(k) withdrawal by mid-December.
