    How can I make a pledge?

    You can donate by check or cash, or electronically.

    • For donations by check or cash, please complete the form here.
    • If you wish to use electronic donations, submit your form here.

    In what form or frequency can I make a pledge and gift?

    Whatever method you select for your donations, you may make a one-time gift and/or weekly, monthly or quarterly offerings. If donating electronically, you may fulfill your pledges by ACH debits from your checking or savings account or by credit card. It is also possible to use a Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) from a retirement account to fulfill your pledge. Contact the parish accountant if RMD or stock donation is your choice.

     

    What if I make a pledge but later, I can’t fulfill that amount?

    Historically, our parishioners fulfill over 90% of total pledges. Although you are not obligated to fulfill the pledged amount we pray that 100% of total pledges are received.

     

    Make a pledge and give.

    Let us build upon the generosity of one another at St. Francis Borgia. Before anyone makes a pledge and gift, please pray. Pray for all who will be blessed because of the generosity of our parish community. And, pray that all at St. Francis Borgia will discover the blessing and joy of being generous to others in need.
