Parish Contribution Envelopes are sent to families registered in the parish. All contributions are recorded and a statement of giving is mailed each January.
Blessed Sacrament has an online giving program that makes it easy for you to schedule regular contributions to meet your personal commitment to your parish. It is a great way to thank God for all His many blessings in our lives.
Online donations may be made at any time from the comfort of your own home or any place with internet access. These contributions can be a one-time donation or can be set up to be recurring. They are credited to your tax statement for the end of the year, and you can change your account preferences and donation amounts at any time. Please use our online payment link or contact the parish office for assistance.
You may also arrange for automatic withdrawals from your bank account to make regular contributions on a weekly or monthly basis. (This is coordinated with our parish bank, Town & Country Bank.) To set up automatic withdrawal, please complete the ACH Authorization Form on this page or pick up a physical copy in the parish office. Your bank information is completely confidential and the security is constantly monitored by Town and Country Bank. Your information is stored on secure servers that are contained behind firewalls and other defense systems to prevent unauthorized access. Families who utilize the automatic withdrawal program will still receive parish contribution envelopes but only for Holy Days and special collections.
Teacher Salary Fund
A contribution envelope is included each month in your parish envelope package. Donations to this fund are dispersed each year as a yearly bonus to our teachers and staff.
Diocesan Collections
Parish envelope packets include special collections for ministries throughout the Diocese and the world.
Donations to these organizations are recorded by the parish. The parish sends a check to the Diocese for the total collected.
A will is the easiest and most effective means to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes. Many people have remembered Blessed Sacrament in their will while still providing for their families and loved ones. These bequests provide a major portion of the church’s funding for major projects and repairs.
Life Insurance
Blessed Sacrament may be named as the beneficiary, or partial beneficiary, of your insurance policy.
Securities
Making a gift of appreciated stock is one of the most advantageous forms of giving with an opportunity to avoid taxation of capital gains.
Real Estate
Gifts of appreciated real estate are similar to gifts of appreciated stock. If you have owned the real estate for 12 months or more, you will avoid capital gains taxes and may deduct the fair market value of the real estate.
Matching Gifts
Some employers offer matching gifts to non-profits.
