In order to provide you, our parishioners, with the best service possible and to be the best steward of our parish resources, we are switching from doing online giving in house to a professional company.  The company we are using is Liturgical Publication Incorporated (LPI).  LPI is also the company that prints our weekly bulletin.  In addition to saving us money by reducing personnel cost, our new online giving service will provide professional cyber security for all transactions that we simply cannot do.  Also as the program continues to grow, people will be able to pay for different parish activities online also.  To enroll in our online giving, go to our website www.stjoemanchester.org and click on the “online giving” tab on the home page to be taken to the “online giving page.”  Click on the “WeShare” icon to be taken to the WeShare website and follow the instructions.  Please do not procrastinate.
