PRE-AUTHORIZED GIVING
 
Did you know that there are multiple collections that PAG does not cover (e.g. Initial Offering, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Christmas, etc?)
 
“My health is not very good and it’s getting harder for me to come to Church every Sunday. It makes me feel good to know that I am supporting my parish even when I can’t attend Mass. I think Pre-Authorized Giving is a wonderful idea!”
 
What an elderly parishioner had to say about the PAG program
in our parish.
