WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE
Recent changes in the tax code (Sec. 170(f) (17)) make it mandatory that receipts be available for all cash contributions deducted on your tax return. Itemized deductions for contributions to the Blessed Sacrament Church will require a direct deposit from your bank or your parish envelope. We track all contributions through the envelopes and can provide a year-end written statement of those contributions. It is very important to start now by using WeShare with an option of direct payment from your bank or a credit card or use envelopes if you plan on deducting any contributions of cash on your tax return.
ENVELOPES
The use of envelopes insures our parishioner’s receive proper credit and a year-end
statement of all monies contributed through the envelopes. Drop your envelopes in the
Sunday baskets, drop them at rectory, or mail them to the parish address. Your may also
drop them in any of the area parishes where you happen to visit for worship and they will
be sent to Blessed Sacrament Church.
