Setting up automatic giving is a simple and secure way to support Blessed Sacrament Parish consistently and faithfully.
When you enroll in Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), your Sunday offertory gift is automatically deducted from your bank account on the schedule you choose. This ensures your support of the parish continues even when you are traveling or unable to attend Mass.
As St. Thomas Aquinas reminds us, virtues are formed by practice. Recurring giving can help us form the habit of putting God’s portion first — intentionally and prayerfully.
Over 215 parish households currently participate in EFT. We invite you to consider joining them.

When will my contribution be deducted?
You may choose Mondays, the 2nd of the month, or the 16th of the month.
Is EFT secure?
Yes. EFT is very secure and often safer than giving by cash or check. Funds cannot be lost, stolen, or destroyed.
Will I still receive offering envelopes?
Yes. You may still place your envelope or a donation card in the collection basket as a visible sign of your offering.
Can I cancel or change my contribution?
Yes. You may update or cancel your authorization at any time by contacting the parish office.
Can EFT be used for Christmas, Easter, or special collections?
No. EFT currently applies only to your regular offertory giving. Special collections may still be given using envelopes.
