Thank you for sharing your gifts and resources with the St. Matthew the Apostle Catholic Parish community. Your donations allow us to fulfill our mission of spreading the Gospel to all we meet. We hope that you will find our Online Giving system easy and convenient to use. You can access our Online Giving page HERE. If you have questions or would like cancel your ECO in favor of Online Giving, please email us at giving@stmatthew.net or fill out the contact form at the bottom of this page.

I already donate via the Electronic Contibution Option. How is Online Giving different?
One of the things we appreciate about Online Giving is the amount of control it gives to the donor to control donations and accounts. Online Giving allows donors to add more than one payment type; to set up one-time or recurring donations; to change the donation type at any time; and to cancel and or suspend a recurring donation, if needed.

If I currently give via ECO, how do I switch over so that I don't donate twice?
If you would like to switch to Online Giving, please contact us to let us know that we should discontinue your ECO and that you have set up an online giving account. Email us at giving@stmatthew.net or fill out the contact form below.

Is there a fee associated with online giving?
No. The parish will be charged a processing fee for credit card transactions (including check cards), and you will be given the option of increasing your donation by $3 to offset those costs, but the offset is entirely up to you and not required. There is no processing fee for transactions through a checking account.

How do I know that my donations will be connected with my envelope number so that I will see them on my year-end statement?
We have a record of everyone's envelope numbers, and when we receive notice that you have set up an account, we will make sure that your online giving account is tagged to your envelope number. 

Can I add my envelope number myself when I set up an account?
Yes, and we hope you do! After you set up an account, please click on "Manage My Account," and then "My Personal Information." You can add your envelope number there. If you don't know your envelope number, don't worry. We'll take care of it.

Can I donate without setting up an account?
Yes! Just click "Quick Give" in the top menu.

How can I keep track of my donations?
Once you set up an account, you can view all of your planned and completed donations, and, if you set up any donations as recurring, you can see what your year-to-date total is, as well. You will also get an email reminder and email confirmation before and after your transactions are completed.

I like to donate for some (but not all) special envelope collections. Can I still do that through online giving?
Yes! We have all the special envelopes for the year listed in advance on the donation page. If you'd like to set up a Christmas donation in May, you can do that. You are free to pick and choose where and when you'd like to donate.

Can I make other payments to the parish through the online giving website?
Online payments will be rolled out in phases. Right now, we are only able to accept weekly offertory donations (including any special envelopes like Christmas flowers) and Charitable Works. Phase II (starting in 2020) will include payments for Bible Studies, PSR, and Youth Ministry. We are evaluating additional online payment needs, which would be included in Phase III. Please let us know if there are payment options that you would like us to consider for the future.
