How to Get Started

• Create a WeShare account 
• Select the Sunday Offering, choose the recurring option, and provide the information requested. Initially, you must select a recurring donation in order to register. After you are registered, you can change your donation frequency, and other new donations can be either recurring or one-time.
• Be sure to enter your Contact Information at the bottom of the page before you verify and complete the transaction. By doing this, you will receive receipts via email and your payment information and payment history will be stored for your future viewing.
• After you enter your Contact Information for the first time, you will receive an email with a temporary password that will expire within 24 hours, for your security. You will be given instructions for how to log in using the temporary password. Then you will be able to finish your account set-up and select a permanent password.
• Before setting up additional and future transactions, you will always log in first by clicking on the "Login" button located at the top right corner of our WeShare home page.

Bill Pay Through Your Bank
You can make arrangements with your bank to have a recurring donation deducted from a bank account and paid to the church, usually by a check that is sent to the parish in the mail, but your bank may have other options. If you are interested in this option, please contact your bank directly.
 
Payroll Deduction                                                                             Some employers offer to do payroll deductions for their employees for charitable contributions, and some will match your charitable contributions. If you are interested in this option, please contact your employer.
 
Gifts of Stock and Bequests
If you would like to make a gift of stock to the parish, or list the parish as a beneficiary in your will, contact our Business Manager, Kate McKinney. She can answer your questions and assist you with the process for both of these ways of giving.
