- Not a parishioner? Whether you are just visiting or have not yet made the decision to join St. Paul’s, there are Welcome envelopes available to you in the Narthex of the Church and in the pews.
- Electronic Funds Transfer – For those parishioners who prefer the convenience of electronic funds transfers, we are providing the option to have your stewardship contributions automatically transferred from your bank account to St. Paul. Once you sign up for the service, the amount you designate will be automatically transferred from your account once or twice a month, whichever is more convenient for you. By the way, if you wish to help the environment and save our trees, you can request that we no longer send you weekly envelopes.
- Major Credit Card – You can authorize your VISA account on a monthly basis to make a contribution on the 15th or end of the month. You need to complete an authorization form at the parish office.
- Online Banking through your own bank.
