Our Sunday Visitor is a longstanding reputable company, and their envelope pricing was certainly competitive, but another reason we have contracted with them is that we can also coordinate their work with a system of online giving controlled by, You, the giver.
We want to provide you with the convenience of being able to give the way you want, whenever you want. Online giving offers you the opportunity to make secure, automatic contributions from your checking account or debit/credit card directly to St. Francis Church. Online giving costs you nothing and provides many advantages to you and us.
.By using Our Sunday Visitor, not only will you receive email reminders of your upcoming donation, but you will be able to make any changes at any time at this link Our Sunday Visitor. Of course, we are happy to help you with any questions, just call the parish office (231) 755-1953 during office hours and we'll be happy to assist you through this process.
We are grateful for your continued financial support especially during this year of uncertainty and financial challenges. We are relieved and humbled by your steadfast support, even though many may not have returned to Mass. Because of that, our utility bills have been paid on time, we have not gotten behind in our debt management, and many of the maintenance issues that need to be addressed have not been postponed ~ THANK YOU!
Of course you are still welcome to use regular offering envelopes. Our Sunday Visitor will mail them directly to your home every other month.. We are happy to offer you either option.
