Archbishop Wuerl will be the celebrant and homilist. Faith Direct Progress The response to the new parish method of electronic giving (Faith Direct) is very encouraging. More parishioners are finding its features as quite convenient to making regular (and special) contributions to support the parish’s many and vital needs. Check elsewhere on our website for all the particulars and give it your serious consideration. |

FAITH DIRECT Looking for a convenient way to support St. Matthew's Cathedral? Faith Direct is the innovative solution that allows you to support our parish using electronic funds transfer from either a credit card or bank account. It is a hassle-free, simple solution for today’s busy families. To enroll, you may either click here for an enrollment form which you can print out and mail to Faith Direct, or you may click here www.faithdirect.net and use our parish code DC284 to enroll today electronically. How does Faith Direct work? Faith Direct is a secure system that works directly with your bank or credit card –much the same as other direct payments you may have set up for utility bills or mortgage payments. When do transactions take place? Transactions take place once per month on the 4th or the next business day. The total amount of your gifts for that current month (both offertory & second/special collections) will be debited in one monthly total. The Cathedral will receive the funds 4 business days later. Can I stop, increase, or decrease my payment at any time? Yes, by calling Faith Direct at 1-866-507-8757 (toll free) by emailing info@faithdirect.net, or by logging in to your account through www.faithdirect.net. How does the Cathedral benefit from my participation with Faith Direct? The Cathedral will see a substantial increase in net revenue, a decrease in administrative costs, and a clearer picture of cash flow for their needs. If you have any questions about the Faith
Direct program, please call 1-866-507-8757 {toll free} or send an
