Electronic Fund Transfer
Blessed Sacrament Cathedral has made arrangements for parishioners to make their regular contributions to the parish by automatic withdrawal from a designated bank account. Why?
It will make it easier to contribute and to make contributions even when you are out of town or on vacation. Additionally, it is a safer way to handle funds being donated
to the Church. Concerned about the appearance of not using weekly envelopes if you choose this option? Just mark "EFT" on the envelope when you place it in the Sunday Collection.
For more information, please contact the Parish Office or click here to download an FAQ.
Cathedral Care Collection
The purpose of this collection is to provide funds for the ongoing maintenance projects we are facing here at the Cathedral. We ask you to consider contributing to this fund each month,
so that we can begin to build a reserve to pay for the maintenance we are facing. We know that the economic times are uncertain, but please do what you can to help secure the maintenance
of our beautiful church.
Since the Cathedral Care Collection envelope in the
envelope packet is not dated, it can be dropped in
the collection basket at any time during the month.
Thank you for your generosity!
IRA Legislation Renewed
The IRA legislation allowing for outright gifts from IRA funds for individuals aged 70 1/2 or older has been re-established. If you are required to receive minimum distributions from your IRA,
and you would like to contribute all or part of these distributions as a charitable gift, you can do so without any tax on the distributions as income. This arrangement was allowed in 2007, and
it has been renewed for 2008 and 2009. Please consult your financial services professionals for details, and if your circumstances allow, please consider such a gift to the Cathedral.
