Did you know that only one in five payments are made using a check? By 2014 experts say that the current checking system will be obsolete. That's why St. Matthias giving is going electronic. Faith Direct puts parishes in touch with the progressive mind of the faithful while helping the parish see a substantial increase in net revenue, a decrease in administrative costs and a clearer picture of cash flow for church needs.

For the first time, our parish will be using Faith Direct, a dependable and widely used service for electronic giving, like other electronic funds transfers you may be using already for your mortgage or utilities. Electronic faith based giving makes automatic deductions convenient and secure for today's busy parishioners.

With Faith Direct you can designate the amount of money that will be debited to your account or charged to your credit card on a monthly basis. And importantly, Faith Direct safeguards your giving information and provides you with an annual contribution statement, even though you will see your gift clearly itemized on your monthly bank or credit card statement.

For more information, you can visit the Faith Direct website, www.faithdirect.net or call 1-866-507-8757.

St. Paul wrote that the Christian steward should give treasure cheerfully and generously, as this is what God expects of us. The faithful have responded. As we embrace Faith Direct for offertory giving, surely God will bless us back.
