Dear Parishioners -

Between demanding schedules, traveling, or just trying to get out the door on time for Mass, it can be challenging to tithe on a regular basis as God calls us to do. Plus, for many families, the parish is one of the last places where you still have to use a checkbook or cash. Not any more.

We are excited to share that St. John the Baptist will now accept one-time and recurring donations directly on our website! You can make a secure donation via electronic check or debit/credit card by visiting stjohnmv.org  (Online Giving).  And if you choose to set up a recurring gift, you will be prompted by email to create your own online donor account to manage your tithing. It’s as easy as online shopping or banking!

How do you get started?

• Visit stjohnmv.org  (Online Giving) from any device with an internet connection
• Choose a one-time or recurring donation
• Choose where you want your donation to go to (Adult Budget, Christmas, Faith Formation Fees, Sacramental Fees, etc.)
• Select your preferred form of payment (electronic check or debit/credit card)
• Enter your information and submit your donation

It’s that easy!

Provided by eCatholic, the same company that hosts the parish's website, this online giving service has already been a proven success for many parishes, schools, and dioceses. And it makes for safer record-keeping, faster processing, and more efficient communication for the parish office.

Learn more and consider the possibilities for sharing your gifts without the hassle of remembering checks and envelopes. And thank you for all your generous support as we launch this new and convenient way to provide for our growing and thriving parish community! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Loraine Kula in the parish office at 319-895-6246 or l.kula@dbqarch.org


God bless,
Fr. Andrew
