In this age of technology, electronic funds transfers have become more and more common and convenient. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) provides for electronic payments and collections.
EFT is safe, secure, efficient, and less expensive than paper check payments and collections.
This convenient method of making contributions through automatic electronic deductions from your checking account or credit card will establish a consistent and orderly tithing arrangement towards your financial stewardship as a parishioner for the important ministries at Saint Vincent de Paul Church.

To use EFT, and have the Parish Office set up your electronic deductions, select the link "Download and Return a Printable Registration Form" provided below to print the Registration and Authorization Form. Please fill out the Registration and Authorization Form and then simply bring the form to the Parish Office in a sealed envelope, or mail the form to the Parish Office. For this form of registration, you are also asked to provide a voided check or deposit slip to verify your financial institution routing number and your account number information. You should keep a copy of the written Authorization Form for your records.
To enroll online visit www.e-paluch.com or select the "Click here for Online Enrollment" link below (see "Instructions for Enrolling Online" below for instructions) .

How It Works
On your written predetermined date (on Registration Form), Saint Vincent de Paul Church will instruct your financial institution to deduct the amount due from your account. Your financial institution then withdraws that amount and forwards it electronically to our church for credit to its account. The payment will be shown on your monthly account statement from your financial institution. The statement will indicate the payment date, the amount, and "J S Paluch church donation". You will also receive e-mail notification.
