"I had tried introducing electronic giving programs in other parishes only to experience limited participation and countless headaches from an administrative standpoint. Within four months of implementing the Faith Direct program, over a third of my parish supporters enrolled in their program, thanks to their marketing and administrative efforts. The net income from their managed program immediately gave our parish more resources to operate our church and ministry."
Rev. Msgr. John J. Enzler
Vicar for Development, Archdiocese of Washington
Pastor, The Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament

We selected Faith Direct because of their experience as a full service operation. As a pastor, their full service approach, from mailings, enrollment, transactions, and customer service support has allowed me to focus more on my ministry. I encourage you to implement Faith Direct today."
Father Kevin Downey, O.F.M.

"Faith Direct has been a financial homerun for Holy Infant. Much of our fundraising income relies on two large events every year - St. Patrick's Day and the Parish Carnival. Both of these programs consume countless volunteer hours. With Faith Direct, we have experienced an annual increase in offertory giving that is greater than the net income provided by these two events combined - with literally no effort required on our part."

“Faith Direct has provided me extreme pleasure with their service. I absolutely appreciated the convenience the service has afforded me. Not only was I able to not worry about remembering my envelope every week, I was able to take advantage of the opportunity to make additional donations. I also appreciated the pleasant reminder via my email account. “

“We love the convenience of the Faith Direct service. Using Faith Direct permits us to effectively budget our financial support to our parish in a more consistent manner. Like many households, parishes rely on steady stream of income to meet their monthly obligations. Faith Direct permits us to schedule our total giving over the course of the entire year versus waiting for December when holiday obligations conflict with the need to boost tax deductions. In addition, the discreet “giving coupons” allow us the opportunity to put something in the collection box to show our support of the parish.”

Davidsonville, MD
“We'd like to thank Faith Direct for your wonderful service. Previously, church envelopes would be forgotten, we'd combine several at a time and realize what a waste of paper and postage this was for our church - let alone loss of a donation that was being counted on. By setting up our Faith Direct account we know that our contributions are promptly taken care of, the parish is saving time and money and we can plan more easily for the entire year. Thank you for making this plan available.”
Lisa
St. Lucy Parish Catholic Church
Saint Claire Shores, MI
"I wanted to say how much I appreciate Faith Direct. I have been a patron of Faith Direct for the past five years and have found it both practical and convenient. I appreciate not having to hassle with envelopes at Mass, and your year-end statements make tax preparation simpler. It is easy to sign up and make adjustments through your website. And when I have questions, your staff is always very helpful. I do all my banking and bill-paying online now, so it just makes sense to use Faith Direct, too."

“We have found using Faith Direct to be very convenient and easy. We didn’t have to bother with writing checks or filling church envelopes with cash each week. If the weather is bad or we go out-of-town or just to another neighborhood parish, due to different mass schedules, we can rest assure that our weekly contributions are being made to our local parish. We can simply check the annual contribution schedule that we are sent and deduct the monthly contribution amount from our checkbook each month. We also receive monthly e-mail reminders of the contribution amount.”

"I love Faith Direct. It really helps me place my love of God first in my life before I spend my check on other meaningless things."
Ken
St. Matthew Catholic Church

"Thanks for the service. I was thinking this was a revolutionary need for the church if it hopes to survive. You have to make it easy for folks to give. I'm sure Immaculate Conception Church in DC also will thank you."
Jon
Immaculate Conception Church
Washington, DC
"I think Faith Direct is a great idea for both the church and the parishioners. I always knew that I was donating a minimum amount regardless of how organized I might be on Sunday. I liked knowing that and then having the freedom to add cash as I was inspired to do."
