NEW St. Oscar Romero Parish Online Account: Update!
Welcome to Online Giving
Dear Friends,
Your generosity and commitment to giving has been our financial lifeline during this pandemic. Many of you have found a way to join our efforts via online giving, mailing, and dropping off your gifts. We are so very thankful.
We understand and appreciate that each of us views change differently and the transition to St. Oscar Romero may take time to process. From an operational standpoint, there are many moving parts and processing requirements. We're trying our best to accomplish the tasks seamlessly behind the scenes.
A critical task, with which we need assistance, is transitioning online giving to the new St. Oscar Romero Parish platform supported by Our Sunday Visitor (OSV). Unfortunately, we cannot do this on your behalf. The 106% growth from 2019 in registered online givers is incredible!
To help us, can you please take a few minutes to create a new St. Oscar Romero Parish (OSV) Online Giving account by clicking HERE?
Please use care in assigning the "Start Date." Selecting 3/23/2021 (or thereafter) will keep offertory gifts constant and avoid duplicate processing. St. John's and/or St. Gerard's OSV or WeShare online giving accounts are scheduled to systematically terminate end of day 3/22/21 therefore, you do not need to close your current account.
If you prefer to continue your offertory gifts via check, please make checks payable to St. Oscar Romero Parish.
Thank you in advance for your continuous support and for your patience and understanding. Please contact Our Sunday Visitor’s Technical Support at 800-348-2886 (Option 2) or email finance@cantoncatholic.org if you require any assistance.
With peace and gratitude,
Saint Oscar Romero Parish, Canton
