Welcome to the Development Office!  Our office works with the parish and school in helping it to further its Stewardship Program.  Lisa Gorecki concentrates on development and stewardship for the parish, Jill Conaway works specifically with the Sacred Hearts School Endowment Fund while Barb Rogan works with the Christian Formation Fund.

Plan to get involved with us - and please consider a gift or a remembrance in your Living Will to Sacred Hearts Parish or School.  

Remember, we accept gifts of cash, stocks, bonds, land, property, collectable art and other items of value.  Let us know if we can be of assistance.

All About EFT - Electronic Funds Transfer

We are pleased to offer you a service designed to better help you in your busy lifestyle.  As I have learned from the International Catholic Stewardship Conference, and other Catholic churches, the Direct Contribution Plan is an excellent way for Sacred Hearts to assist our members in their contribution commitments.

Today, many of us use Electronic Funds Transfers (EFT) to pay our mortgages, gas bills, water & light bills, telephone bills and life insurance payments.  We write fewer checks and buy fewer stamps and never miss a due date.  With this in mind, Sacred Hearts would like to give you the opportunity to give your church contribution through EFT.

This will not only help us meet our commitment to God in a timely and convenient manner, but it will also help us when we are sick, on vacation or out of town.  It helps us to make our commitment to God a priority in our budget.  It helps level out our giving throughout the year and saves us with trying to play "clean-up" at the end of the year.

Here's How It Works...

We authorize contributions to be made from your checking or savings account on the 15th  of each month.  Our proof of contribution will appear on your bank statement and on your church's annual giving statement.  Authority we grant to charge our contributions to your account remains in effect until you notify Sacred Hearts to increase it for the next year or discontinue it.  The Direct Contribution Plan is dependable, flexible and convenient.

To take advantage of this new service, you can download the authorization form at the bottom of this page.  The form is in PDF format, and will require the Adobe Acrobat Reader software.  If you do not have the software installed on your machine, you can download and install a free copy by clicking on the Adobe logo.

Please complete the authorization form and return it to the church via mail, via hand delivery to our office or in an envelope which can be placed in the Sunday collection.  If you have any questions, or need help in some way, please feel free to give Lisa a call.
