It's Boxes of Joy Season



Return to Mass or the parish office by

October 25 and 26.

We’re excited to share that Faith Direct will soon be upgrading to ParishSOFT Giving—our new, secure giving platform. This upgrade will happen automatically and securely. No action is required from you—your gift schedules and payment details will carry over seamlessly.


What’s new about ParishSOFT Giving?



·        Weekly Giving: If you selected weekly giving, your gifts will now be deducted each week instead of in one monthly batch.


·        More Flexibility: Adjust your giving schedule to any date that works for you—not just the 4th or 15th.


·        More Ways to Give: Now you can donate using PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.


We’re committed to making this a smooth transition. You’ll receive more information as we get closer to launch.


Please take a moment to look at the parish informational card that has been placed in your pew. On it, you will find a few QR codes that give you direct access to join the parish, volunteer for a ministry, and to make donations using Venmo and/or Faith Direct. Venmo is treated the same as cash in the offertory basket and can also be used for other purposes such as second collections, prayer candles and other donations. Please be aware that the parish will not provide tax letters for Venmo donations. 

Join us Sunday following the 5:30 p.m. Mass for food and fun.

Email Andrew Thompson at thompsona@stignatius.org for more information about Youth Group, Confirmation Prep and Ignite.
