If you are already using Church Center or your bank’s Online Bill Pay system, you will need to update your payment amount to match your new pledge amount.
- Q: What happens if my household’s financial situation changes after I pledge?

Therefore, if you need to change or cancel your pledge, contact the accounting department and notify us of the change. Furthermore, should you find yourself needing financial or other assistance, we may be able to connect you with helpful support resources. If you give online, remember to stop/change your automatic payments in your online giving account.

- Q: Should I pledge if I already give?
  A: Ideally, yes. Pledging is an annual recommitment to give your first fruits to God. Furthermore, your pledge allows the parish to operate more boldly and prudently, since we can better estimate our revenue for the next year. Thus, pledging is both a personal spiritual exercise and a practical aid for the parish. Nonetheless, we are grateful for all gifts – whether you pledge or not!
