Pre-Authorized Remittance Program
also known as PAR
What is PAR?
PAR is a great way to simplify making your financial contribution to
Ste-Genny's. You don't need to fill out weekly offering envelopes and
you don't have the worry of having to "catch up" if you are unable to
make it to church because of sickness or vacation.
How does PAR work?
PAR enables Ste-Genny's to directly debit your bank account monthly
with the amount of your offering. People on PAR have given Ste-Genny's
written authorization to deduct a specific amount on the 20th of each
month from their bank account which is automatically deposited in
Ste-Genny's bank account. You can increase or decrease the amount of
your offering at any time and you can also temporarily stop making a
contribution if you need to do so.
Why should I care about PAR?
PAR helps Ste-Genny's manage its finances to be better able to pay its
bills and payroll on time. PAR is to Ste-Genny's what a regular pay
cheque or pension deposit is to you. It is always nice to know that on
a certain date every two weeks or every month that there will be a
deposit in your account. It's exactly the same for Ste-Genny's.
How do I sign up for PAR?
All you have to do is ask Ross Wilson, Ste-Genny's envelope steward, or
Donna Olinik, our church secretary, or any member of the Finance
Committee for a PAR authorization form. The form is easy to complete
and should be returned to Ross so you can be entered in the PAR
program. The PAR authorization form is available here.
All the members of the Finance Committee are ready and willing to
answer any questions you may have about PAR. Your participation will
make a difference.
