Automated Giving and Credit Card Donations

October 13, 2012

Automatic debit or EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) is one way to contribute to St. Elizabeth Seton. The Parish pays no fees so 100% of your donation is used for Parish Operations. To sign up, fill out the enrollment form below and drop it in the collection basket or mail it to the Parish Office-2220 Lisson Road, Naperville, IL 60565.

Another way to contribute regularly is through credit card donations. To make donations with your credit card, go to www.parishpay.com and follow the instructions. Parish Pay allows you to manage your contributions to St. Elizabeth Seton. Unlike automatic debit, parish pay does charge us fees of approximately 4% to manage this service.

If you have any questions regarding automatic debit or credit card donations, please contact Kathy McGowan at 630-416-3325.

We can be Christ for one another when we share of ourselves with our parish community as in our Music Ministry. There are many opportunities available for all members of all ages to be involved:

Adult Choir All Adults (High School Grads & Beyond)
Rehearses Wednesday evenings 7:30-9:00 pm

High School Choir Guys & Girls, Grades 7-12 Choir members and Instrumentalists

Registration

May 7, 2009

New Parishioners:

We welcome you! Please register with the parish by using one of the following approaches:

  • Obtain a registration form after Mass at the Welcome and Information Center in the Narthex
  • Visit the Parish Office
  • For more information phone (630)416-3325

Registering in a parish is a declaration of your desire to be part of a Catholic community and a commitment to the life of the parish family.

To so clearly state your Catholic commitment in all its dimensions brings you advantages, recognition, and responsibilities of many kinds. Being a registered parishioner makes things much easier when it is time for infant baptism, school registration, weddings, when asked to be a baptismal or confirmation sponsor, and even funerals.

We are often asked to provide affidavits for baptismal and confirmation sponsors. We can only do this if a person is a registered, active, and contributing member in our parish. How do you know if you are already registered? A registered parishioner receives all parish mailings.

So, are you a registered parishioner? If not, please consider registering.

Registration forms are always available after Masses in the Narthex and at the Parish Office and Religious Education Office. You can also register online at www.sesnaperville.org. Please complete one today and return it this week if you would like to join our community.
