Tithing
Please know the importance of your tithing and how this affects the planning for a balanced budget each year. Each Holy Trinity household is invited to participate in our annual Tithing Commitment Campaign which typically occurs each fall. For a pledge card, go HERE. You can mail this pledge card, scan it and email to janellek@holytrinitydm.org, or drop it at our office.
If you would like to donate electronically to any of our Ministries(Tithing, PATCH Apt., Education, Food Pantry, Etc.) today, go HERE
We ask Holy Trinity parishioners to give prayerful consideration to paying their tithes by either using envelopes or Automatic Withdrawal (ACH). What is ACH? We encourage parishioners to pay their tithes using ACH debits. These are tithing payments that you initialize and authorize which are sent through the ACH (Automatic Clearing House) network. The ACH method of payment is both convenient for the parishioner and helps Holy Trinity plan their budget. What about security? The program used by Holy Trinity to facilitate ACH transactions provides a high level of security for storing transaction data. How often can I make a tithe payment through ACH? You can authorize payment in one of three different ways: The 5th of the month (once a month); the 20th of the month (once a month); or the 5th & 20th of the month (same amount each month). You can terminate your ACH debit. (However transactions are sent 2 to 4 days ahead of the actual withdrawal date) If you are interested in enrolling in Holy Trinity’s ACH Automatic Tithing Program, download the printable form and return it to the Parish Office by mail or in the collection basket. If you have any questions about ACH, contact the Parish Office at 255-3162 ext. 125.
Another option to pay your tithing is through Internet Bill Pay. Internet Bill Pay allows you to make payments on-line through your bank account. Contact your bank to set-up Internet Bill Pay for Holy Trinity. All you need is the mailing address and your envelope number which will act as your account number. Your bank will then issue (mail) a check to Holy Trinity on the any date you authorize.
Annual Diocesan Appeal(ADA)
The Annual Diocesan Appeal supports the Bishop and ministries of the Diocese of Des Moines. Since we are a part of the Diocese, Holy Trinity parishioners are asked to contribute to this appeal. The appeal provides approximately half of the operating revenue the diocese needs to fulfill its vital mission on an annual basis. Learn what the ADA supports by navigating to the Giving section of the website. The remainder of the operating revenue is generated through grants, fees, and endowment earnings. This collection occurs in the Spring.
**If you did not receive your pledge card, extra cards are located at church or call the parish office at 255-3162 ext. 125. If you would like to give to the Annual Appeal electronically, go to the Annual Appeal Link.
