Starting this weekend, you can pick up your 2023 offering envelopes on the table in the atrium. Please do not use these envelopes until January - some parishioners have been assigned new envelope numbers for 2023.
1. Pre-Authorized Offerings (Direct Deposit via bank account or credit card)
When you register in the parish you have the option to have a specified amount taken out of your bank account or put on your credit card monthly. Please set up this payment via our simple and safe online donationform. *
There are two main advantages to this method of financially supporting the parish.
You don't have to remember to bring a weekly envelope to church.
It saves our office manager many hours each week as envelopes don't have to be opened, amounts recorded for income tax purposes, and cash/cheques deposited at the bank.
Envelopes for special collections throughout the year are made available to direct deposit donors.
*NOTE - if you have an existing monthly pre-authorized donation that you would like converted to this system, please contact Chiaka at MMOC's office first at 204-261-1579 to discuss the best timing and cancellation procedures for your existing donation.
2. Church Envelopes for Weekly Giving
When you register and request a box of envelopes they will be given to you. Previous to the start of each calendar year, a new box of envelopes with your name will be on tables at the entrance to the church.
3. Children's Offerings
A bowl for offerings from children is at the foot of the altar. Proceeds from this collection go to support the various social justice initiatives that the parish supports. Children and adults are encouraged to come up and put in their offerings during the general collection.
4. One-time donations
One-time donations for any MMOC charities (ie Building, Samaritan, Christmas Hamper, etc.) can be made via the online donations form. You will have the ability to select your charity choice.
NOTES:
- MMOC online donations administrative service fees: credit cards are approximately 1% more than debit cards.
– MMOC online donations are processed through a simple and safe processing company, SafeSave.
