New Improved OnLine Giving Opportunity
St. Mary Student Parish is now providing an improved and more user friendly approach to Online Giving—a convenient and safe way to make a one-time or recurring donation. Getting started is easy—just click our Online Giving link in the top right corner of the page. The first time you do this you will set up your own personal account that you can use to donate and even monitor what you have contributed online to the parish. When you participate, your gift will be securely transferred directly into the parish bank account. And you won’t have to remember to write a check or stop by the ATM on Sundays! If you are not already registered at St. Mary’s, please be sure to do so here first before you set up your online account. This will greatly help with the processing of your gifts. You will only need to do these two steps on your first time using the new system. Those who have already been donating online will also need to switch over to the new system to continue with your donations. Thank you so much for your generous support! If you have any questions, email Annette Hauswirth or call 734-663-0557 ext. 240.
