Make a Donation or Adjust Your Giving
What is WeShare?
Our Lady of Lourdes uses WeShare to make donating simple and easy, while at the same time keeping the process safe and secure. Online giving is available for parishioners who would like to make online donations to our weekly/monthly offerings, as well as other parish collections. We are utilizing this technology for the well-being and growth of our parish community. There is no cost parishioners to participate in the WeShare online giving program.
You can set up a recurring weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, quarterly or annual payment; allocate different amounts for our different collections; utilize a different payment method for each donation; and view complete, accurate financial records at any time. Those who wish to continue to use traditional methods of offering may do so; however, we ask that you prayerfully consider online giving.
Some of the benefits for parishioners include: no need to write checks; you can give even if you are unable to attend services; and your contribution amount can easily be adjusted.
The benefits for the parish include: more consistent giving with recurring contributions; online donation summaries for record keeping; reaches a wider demographic of givers; and accommodates all special parish collections and missions.
