Giving On-Line Is Safe & Easy
We at Holy Spirit have been blessed as a parish
by the Lord in so many ways. It begins with our
Eucharistic celebration and extends to our community of
faith.
Finances are obviously very important to maintain our
ministry, and we appreciate the generous support we
receive from our parishioners. As Catholics, we
recognize that all we have – our time, our talents, our
resources, even our very lives – are gifts from God. We
are called to be good stewards of all these gifts,
investing them wisely and generously for the sake of
God's kingdom. We know that our Lord's promise is to
"Seek first His kingdom and his righteousness, and all
these things shall be yours as well."
To help make it more convenient for you to financially
support the parish, we have instituted an electronic
payment option. This offers you the opportunity to make
automatic financial contributions from your bank account
to our parish community.
Please understand that Online Giving is not intended to
replace the traditional act of Sunday offering, but
rather to enhance it. You may continue to receive
offering envelopes if you wish. The new envelopes have a
box marked, "I have given electronically", so you can
still participate in the Sunday Offering. Please
prayerfully consider Online Giving.
To begin Online Giving you will need certain
information. If you are giving by Electronic Funds
Transfer you will need your bank account and routing
numbers, which can be found on the bottom of one of your
checks or from your financial institution. If you are
giving by a credit card, you will need the credit card
information.
Within Online Giving it is possible to direct your
offering to a specific purpose within the parish, such
as Building Fund, St. Vincent de Paul, or general Sunday
collection.
Online Giving is done via a separate secure web site and
Holy Spirit will not have access to any of your
banking information at any time. Online Giving may be
set for Sunday or holy days, either weekly recurring
gifts or one time gifts (for holy days). Online Giving
accounts and dates can be changed at any time. Email
reminders let your know that the giving is about to be
deducted from your account.

effect to kvasquez@holyspiritkent.org. You will still
keep your same assigned envelope number.
