Ways to Give

Donors to A Future Full of Hope campaign have a variety of payment options to consider:
 

 
 
Donors wishing to pay in monthly installments are strongly encouraged to pay by automatic bank withdrawal. Instructions for all payment options are provided below.
 
Cash or Check
Please make checks out to “St. John Paul II Parish” and write “A Future Full of Hope Campaign” on the memo line.
 
Please attach any initial payment to your pledge card and give to a campaign volunteer or to the St. John Paul II Office.

Subsequent payments should be sent according to the instructions provided on the reminder statements.
 
Automatic Bank Withdrawal
Anyone who wishes to pay by automatic bank withdrawal may include this information on his or her pledge card. Donors may also pay by scheduling an automatic bank withdrawal online through the parish’s Faith Direct site.

IRA Contribution
Traditional IRAs allow you to take a tax deduction when you contribute money from them, but generally, you must pay income taxes when you withdraw the funds.

Please work with your Financial Advisor and Andrea Bowles, Parish Bookkeeper to arrange for this type of contribution.
