Frequently Asked Questions
Giving/donating online is making an offertory or contribution electronically to St. Martha which is directly paid or debited from your credit card, checking, or savings account. The funds are then directly deposited into the St. Martha’s bank account.
It makes it easy to fulfill stewardship commitments, even when you can't attend church. You never have to bring cash or checks to church. Giving electronically also helps the church save money and improve its budget!
We have partnered with major payment processing applications Stripe, Plaid, and Paypal. If you have shopped online, you may have already used one of these services even without knowing it. Your payment is securely processed by these companies and the contribution amount you specify will automatically be transferred from your credit card or bank account to the St. Martha's bank account.
Your contribution will be processed immediately. If you marked the box for recurring payment, the following payments will occur from the day you donated. For example, if you donate on Monday and recurring weekly donation, the next donation will be the following Monday.
Recurring payments will follow the time frame you have selected. These known values with predictable dates can be written into your register. If there are any issues with processing your recurring payment, we will reach out to you with the information you provided when you first submitted the recurring payment. Receipts will automatically be emailed to you after each donation, and at the end of the year you will be receiving a summary letter for all the donations you made online. You can also log into the website to see any of your donation information.
Your bank statement gives you an itemized list of electronic transactions. Your donation information will emailed to you in a PDF format, and will also be available online on the website. At the end of the year a summary letter will be sent to you for all the online donations you have made for the year.
You can set up to contribute to different offerings or funds at different times, and with different frequencies. For example, your regular Sunday church offertory may be weekly for $50, another recurring payment for $20 monthly for the Youth and Young Adult Ministry, and a one-time payment for the intention of your Nieces’ birthday. You must set up each of the donation funds separately. Continuing with the example, 3 sets of donation funds will need to be set up. You will receive a receipt for each fund after every payment is processed.
Login and update your account information.
It's less risky than writing checks or bringing cash to church. Electronic contributions cannot be lost, stolen or destroyed and have an extremely high rate of accuracy. Your donations are processed by major payment processing companies Stripe, Plaid, and Paypal, which have large resources to invest in making your financial information secure.
You can cancel your authorization by deleting your bank accounts and donation information.
Head to the St. Martha Church website or St. Martha YAM website, and navigate to the Donate section. Select how much you would like to donate, fill out all the necessary fields in the form, along with your bank or credit card information. It’s like shopping online.
Online donations was an initiative started and made possible by the Young Adult Ministry. The new parish website was brought online afterwards. Donations on the stmarthavalinda.org website may be possible in the future.
First, log into the website with the information used to create the recurring donation, or search your email registered to the recurring donation and search for "Subscription/Recurring Donation Receipt", then click on "View the receipt in your browser".
Click on "Manage Subscriptions"
Then select the option which you would like to do. If you would like to switch to Credit Card to PayPal, or vice versa, you will need to cancel and redo the recurring donation subscription.
