Let’s get active and make a gift to the greater Catholic community for the Annual Pastoral Appeal. If ALL of us make a gift that is equally proportionate, we will succeed in our responsibility to our diocese. It is our response to God.

THE THIRD SUNDAY 

There will be a second collection each 3rd Sunday of the month for those who would like to make their donation to APA as part of the offertory. Bring the YELLOW envelope from your offertory packet OR use an ANNUAL APPEAL envelope from the pews.

Here are some ways you can get involved:

Pledging:
Many people feel that they can participate at a sacrificial gift level if they make payments over a period of time.  Those who pledge will receive reminders according to their designated payment schedule.

On-Line Giving:
The most preferred method of payment both by donors and Campaign Processing.  Using a credit or debit card, payments can be made through the secure APA website at: http://home.catholicweb.com/dospAPA/
Checks:
Please make all checks payable to the Annual Pastoral Appeal, and be sure that your parish name and donor ID# (030-Corpus Christi, Temple Terrace)  is on the check.

Matching Gifts:
Many companies have Matching Gift Programs for charity or educational purposes.  Contact your company’s Human Resource office to see if they offer this program.  There are necessary applications and procedures to follow, then you can send the approved information to the Campaign Processing Office.  This will maximize your gift to the Annual Pastoral Appeal.  If you have any questions, please contact Marie Bornstadt at mcb@dosp.org.

Gifts of Appreciated Stocks or Securities:
Federal tax law allows a charitable deduction for the full market value of the securities on the date of your gift.  For more information or assistance, please contact David Ridenour, Coordinator of the Tribunal; Wills, Trust/Stocks/Securities at: davideridenour@dosp.org.
