An automatic bill payment is a money transfer scheduled on a predetermined date to pay a recurring bill. Automatic bill payments are routine payments made from a banking. account. Automatic payments can be made from a checking account or credit card. They are set up through a checking account’s online bill pay service. Automatic bill payments occur over an electronic payment system, such as the Automated Clearing House (ACH).
These payments can be automated quite easily from a checking account. This involves making arrangements with the bank holding the checking account to make the exact payment each month. The set of instructions is typically created online by the account holder. The individual paying the bill must initiate the automatic bill payment and provide the necessary information required to make automated recurring payments.
Everything we have is a gift from God. As His children, we are accountable for our use of the gifts He bestows on us. In gratitude, we return to the Lord, a share of our gifts of time, talent, and treasure to further God's Kingdom. We give Him the first portion of these entrusted gifts, thus making a faith decision that responds to our Christian calling and its responsibilities. It is an act of the heart.
We at Holy Cross believe in the theology of Stewardship through Sacrificial Giving or Tithing. Our Parish Offertory Program is the primary means of support for the parish and its programs. If we truly believe that God gives us all that we have, trust is our response. When we recognize that our real security lies in God, we can then decide what we will return to the Lord.
Gifts such as stocks and bonds, real estate,
and other property may be transferred to
Holy Cross Church. These are very helpful
in the long-term development of funds.
Call the parish office for more information

advisor regarding the potential benefits of
such a donation.
