Online Giving FAQs

Here’s some more information about making your donations electronically through Faith Direct.

  • This program works securely and directly with your bank, credit, or debit card in the same way as other electronic funds transfer payments you may already conduct (such as utility bills or your mortgage payment). All transactions are processed electronically, debiting your bank account or charging your credit/debit card automatically for the amounts you designate.

  • No! Faith Direct processes only the amount you designate for your church, and only you can change the amount of money that may be processed on a monthly basis. They send an email each month with the details of your upcoming donations so there will be no surprises.

  • When you enroll in a Faith Direct program you can choose to have your monthly donations processed on the 4th, 15th, or both 4th and 15th. Your donations will be processed in one transaction for the total offertory, campaign and/or second collection donation amounts you have designated. St. Peter’s will receive your donations within five business days.

  • You can make changes to your account any time by:

    • Accessing your account online

    • Contacting Faith Direct’s customer service team at (866) 507-8757

    • Sending Faith Direct an email

    • Chatting with a Faith Direct customer service representative online.

    There is no minimum donation amount or financial penalty if you cancel.

  • At this point, a significant proportion of parishioners are donating online. We can assure you that it’s very normal and accepted to not visibly give in collection baskets due to this shift in giving methods.

  • For assistance or questions, please call Faith Direct’s Client Care team at (866) 507-8757.
