Sts. Peter and Paul is pleased to introduce PledgeConnect

PledgeConnect is a new service that simplifies how you make contributions. With PledgeConnect you can make your contribution electronically by credit or debit card, or have it withdrawn directly from your bank account.

How does it work and why is it important?

• Consistent Collections -  Making automatic contributions to the church helps minimize the financial challenges we face.  PledgeConnect helps minimize the fluctuations caused by missed services, vacations, illness, weather or when families simply forget to bring a check or cash for their contribution.

• Eliminate Writing Checks -  Scheduling your contributions through PledgeConnect reduces or eliminates your need to write checks.  A record of your electronic contribution will appear on your bank or credit card statement.

• Flexible Options -  You can specify your donation amount and how frequent it will occur, such as weekly, monthly, or quarterly.  Your offering will be automatically withdrawn from your bank account or charged to your credit card.

• Changes Easily Made -  You may change your donation amount or cancel your recurring contribution at any time by calling the finance office.

• Other Contribution Options -  PledgeConnect can support gifts made to additional or special collections, such as Christmas or New Construction.  Visit the church website for the complete list of designations.

• Simple Enrollment -  You can enroll online with PledgeConnect here at www.ssppeaston.org.  If you prefer, you can also manually fill out an Form and return it to the church office.  Our finance office staff will setup your contributions for you.
