Online Giving is a web-based application that allows you to start, stop and change your contributions at any time. This convenient new system does not require you to contact your bank to sign up or to make changes. You can use any of your checking or savings accounts and the funds will be automatically transferred to our parish bank account or you can use your credit card for your giving. You can see reports on your contribution history and generate tax statements at each year’s end. By setting up your weekly contributions, Online Giving helps you maintain your giving even if you cannot be here at Mass (e.g. inclement weather) and helps the parish streamline its cash flow.
Reasons to sign up for Electronic Giving:
On December 31, 2021, the name “Annual Pastoral Appeal” or “APA” was retired. In January 2022, “Catholic Ministry Appeal” was publicly rolled-out with a more focused case for support that does not include leadership or administrative expenses like APA did.
The Catholic Ministry Appeal is simple, more transparent, and allows you to know exactly where your gifts are going so you can give with confidence. In its inaugural year, the 2022 Catholic Ministry Appeal exceeded its goal! Thanks to the generosity of our grace filled diocesan family, we know what is possible and the impact we have in our community.
This year, we will work together to raise $8.5 million to ensure these ministries can continue bringing ministry to life with every dollar donated toward our goal directly funding our ministries, outreach, and programs. It is important to note that all the ministries included in this appeal have a direct tie to our call to be missionary disciples, bringing others into a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Please NOTE: Catholic Ministry Appeal, is separate from the St. Michael the Archangel Parish Online giving that you may currently be using for making your weekly offertory gifts. Therefore, you need to register for the Diocese of St. Petersburg Online Giving in order to donate to Catholic Ministry Appeal electronically even if you are already using St. Michael’s Online Giving.
