Good News

Last week we got a check for $14,014.41 representing the latest disbursement of funds from the Upon This Rock Campaign for the period July 31st – Jan. 31st. You will recall that last year we received our first disbursement for $39,149.13. These funds are our portion (35%) of total funds raised by our parish for the Diocesan Capital Drive conducted here in late fall 2016. Your wonderful cooperation has made this possible.

The monies from our portion of the drive will go toward the purposes announced at the time of the campaign: a capital fund for eventual replacing of AC units and church boiler, replacement for cemetery truck, repair of roadways, handicapped accessibility, school repairs etc. Needless to say the campaign was very successful and will have a long term beneficial effect on the diocese and the parish. If you wish to donate to Upon This Rock, it is not too late. Simply contact Fr Dennis.

Electronic Giving is Convenient

If you currently give weekly, you will no longer need to write out 52 checks a year or prepare 52 envelopes. Electronic giving allows your donations to continue on an uninterrupted basis even when travel, illness etc. prevent you from attending mass. It offers convenience for individual parishioners and much-needed donation consistency to our parish.

Of course St. Elizabeth Ann Seton will always accept donations through use of parish envelopes, personal checks or cash, but we encourage you to see how easy and convenient electronic giving is through GIVE+. Setting up your account is not difficult. You can even give though your cell phone or by text message. Check out the latest videos “GIVE+ Mobile” and “GIVE+ Text” located on the home page and online giving page of our website www.seasdunkirkny.org an authorization form and a “Frequently Asked Questions” flyer are available from the church office or contact Dan Hillman at 366-1750 ext. 5 with your questions.
