EFT

ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFER: The EFT program was introduced at St. Monica on April 1, 2004.

It is a simple giving program and is an alternative to weekly envelopes. Authorized contributions to St. Monica are automatically deducted from checking or savings accounts or charged to a credit card on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis. Contributions are automatically directly deposited to the church's checking account following donor instructions.

EFT enables contributions to continue when parishioners are away from home. Year- end statements are mailed to all users.

If you would like to enroll in this program, simply complete and sign an authorization form and return it to the Parish Center, drop it in the collection basket or mail it to church along with a voided check; savings deposit slip or credit card information.

If you have any questions, please call the Parish Center at (925) 376-6900 or email your question to office@stmonicamoraga.com.
