Why should I use EFT?
EFT allows you to make regular automatic contributions with your credit/debit card or bank account, the same way you take care of your most important commitments like your mortgage or utilities. This form of payment can simplify your life while providing a predictable cashflow that the parish can count on to keep the church running, fund normal maintenance, and pay for any unexpected needs. This method also makes your gift go further by saving the church significant time and money otherwise used to print, mail, and process traditional envelopes.

Stewardship: Time, Talent, and Treasure
Stewardship is the act of putting God’s priorities before our own, giving the first portion of our gifts of time, talent, and treasure to His work in gratitude for His many blessings.
Time
True stewardship begins with wisely caring for and sharing the gift of our time, balancing work, rest, play, and prayer to nurture our whole selves.
Talent
Stewardship of talent means nurturing and sharing the unique abilities God has given us for the good of others. Each member of St. Edward has valuable gifts that strengthen our community and can provide immeasurable benefit to our ministries. Please consider how you can use your time and talent in service to God and others.
Treasure
Our treasure — both money and possessions — is a gift from God that we must use both for our own good and for the good of others. Thank you to the many parishioners who give regularly to support our church, especially those who have made a stewardship pledge! Our stewardship program isn’t an extra request for money, but a systematic approach to managing offertory donations with the goal of achieving greater consistency. The money that you pledge is used for the operation of our parish and ministries, as well as necessary maintenance of our facilities and grounds. By making a pledge, you are helping us to better predict giving and enabling the Finance Council to create a realistic budget to ensure our parish continues to grow and thrive this year and into the future. Thank you for your love and dedication to our parish community!
