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.
The Diocese of St. Petersburg Annual Pastoral Appeal (APA) is an annual fundraiser, or appeal, to the parishioners of the diocese asking them to contribute directly to diocesan ministries and services. It is an annual invitation encouraging participation from every Catholic household to support this mission of our Church in the Diocese of St. Petersburg.
The diocesan operations and ministries meet the physical, educational and spiritual needs of thousands within Pinellas, Hillsborough, Hernando, Pasco and Citrus counties. This allows us, as a faith community, to fulfill God’s call to discipleship by spreading the gospel message in word and deed and serve each other in His love.
If you would like to donate electronically to the Diocese of St. Petersburg APA or Forward in Faith, you may do so by clicking of the link below and registering for the Diocese’s Online Giving.
Please NOTE: The APA Online Giving 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 APA electronically even if you are already using St. Michael’s Online Giving.
