Thank you for supporting St. Thomas the Apostle with a financial gift. Whether you are nourished through our liturgical celebrations, called to deeper faith by religious education and enrichment programs or moved to serve the wider community, your financial support makes it possible.
The information below outlines the different ways you can make your contribution. To view a current list of all funds to which you may donate, please click here.
Direct Debit/ACH from your Bank Account
ACH or Direct Debit allows you to connect St. Thomas to your checking or savings account and collect an electronic contribution on your choice of the 5th and/or the 20th of each month. This allows you to avoid writing checks and submitting envelopes. Your contribution is easily tracked on your bank statements and you will still receive a statement from the parish at the end of the year documenting your giving for tax purposes.
To get started you will need to submit to the St. Thomas Business Office the authorization form and a cancelled check. Click below for the authorization form.
