    • One time gift & gift options

    • Frequently Asked Questions

      How will I know my gift was received?

      An email notification will let you know that your gift has been recieved.
       

       

      Is it safe and secure?

      Online gifts meet the same security and standards as online banking. Just be sure to use a secure internet connection (no public wifi).
       

       

      When are my gifts automatically taken from my account?

      One-time gifts are immediately processed and the transaction should on your bank/credit card statement within a few days.

      If you chose to make a recurring gift, your first donation will process immediately. Then, you will receive an email to create an online donor account.

      If a donor has a recurring gift, they will be able to log into their online donor account to make any necessary changes or updates to banking account, credit card, and contact information. Donor accounts also allow donors to update any details to their gifts including pausing or cancelling a scheduled gift.
       

      What if I try an online donor account but do not wish to continue using it?

      Recurring gift accounts can be set up or cancelled at anytime. If you attempt to cancel a gift after it has begun processing, you will need to contact the parish for a refund.

      PARISH SHARE:
      The Diocese of Pittsburgh assesses each parish about 17.6% of their annual collections to support the many necessary charitable organizations that must be operated and controlled at the diocesan level. This Parish Share Program enables parishioners to support the truly less fortunate and needy of the diocese. Please use the beige envelope marked Parish Share in your monthly packet to help us exceed our goal. If every family would increase their contribution to Parish Share while maintaining their general offering, this would not only benefit the whole Church of Pittsburgh, it would substantially increase the financial health of Saints John & Paul, as we get to keep the excess Parish Share contributions.
       



      PARISH GIVING:
      Stewardship as a way of life comes from seeing everything as a gift from God, changing the way we see things. This discipline is motivated by faith and a deep sense of gratitude, flowing from one’s faith, to the sharing of his/her time, talent and treasure with the Church and other worthy causes. Parishioners share their gifts in a planned, proportionate, thankful, and sacrificial manner.

      The Parish of Saints John & Paul assists parishioners on their journey towards stewardship as a way of life. Those who choose to put their trust in God and live their lives as Christian stewards live life to the fullest.

      As you plan your giving to Saints John & Paul Parish, consider that there are additional ways to make donations other than weekly offertory gifts. 
       



      OTHER FINANCIAL GIVING:

      IRA Rollover

      Although Congress provided a clouded window for the 2013 IRA Rollover, we do have clear sailing for 2014’s opportunity. To participate, those over 70 1/2 years may contact their IRA custodian with orders to produce a check (or checks) payable to your parish (or other charities). This gift can be part of your minimum distribution or from your IRA principal (up to $100,000). Whether your gift is $1,000 or $100,000, you will not need to claim that amount as part of your 2014 income.

      Making a Provision in Your Will

      When you make a bequest (charitable provision) in your will for your parish, please have your attorney word the provision this way: “I give, devise and bequeath to (insert the name and address of your parish or school), a charitable organization, the sum of $___; or ___% of my estate; or ___% of the residue of my estate; or the following property (describe home, real estate, bonds, accounts, insurance policy, etc.) to be used for its general purposes (or indicate specific purpose(s) or restricted use).” For a free brochure entitled “How to Make a Will that Works,” call Paul Stabile at (412) 456-3055.

      Transfer a Gift of Stock

      Call Marilyn Schroeder at (724) 935-2104 x221 to facilitate a transfer of stock. Your gift can be restricted for a certain use such as a capital campaign, building fund, scholarship, for parish share, or unrestricted for the parish’s greatest need.

      Establish a Named Endowment Fund

      Your current donation or future gift through your will, gift annuity, or trust can establish a named fund in the Catholic Foundation that will benefit your parish forever.

      Gifts of Life Insurance

      You may take out a life insurance policy making the parish the beneficiary. If you make the parish the owner, you may claim the annual premium each year as an income tax deduction. The policy can be whole life, universal, or term. Check with your insurance agent for further information.

      A Gift of a Retirement Plan Remainder

      Retirement plan remainders (IRA, 403B, 401K, etc.) left to your heirs will be subject to both income and estate taxation after your life. If you leave that remainder to your parish or school, it will be completely tax free. This does not need to be stated in your will. You must designate it by completing a form with your retirement plan custodian (bank, financial planner, insurance company, etc.). Consider leaving after-tax funds to your heirs.

      Please remember your parish as you plan your estate. Consult your attorney or tax advisor for more specific advice. For information on any current or deferred gift option, such as trust, insurance policy, will, retirement fund, endowed fund, stock transfer, or bequest intention document, please contact Paul Stabile, Director of Planned Giving, Office for Stewardship at (412) 456-3055 or stewardship@diopitt.org.

      The generosity of our parish is a witness to your donations hard at work! Thank you for your ongoing pledge support. However, our work is not yet complete. We continue to rely on these funds to support many service activities. Please continue to support our parish through this campaign. The monthly pink envelope can be used to fulfill payments toward your pledge, or to make a new donation.

      On behalf of the Church Alive Capital Campaign Committee, we thank you for your gifts of time, talent and treasure which continue to bless our parish family.
