Church procedures for Masses during Covid-19.

To help limited the possibility of spreading the coronavirus we are limited as to the number of people present at our Masses. The maximum number of people allowed is 33% of the church’s seating capacity. The churches are being cleaned and disinfected after each Mass. There are also other precautions that have been implemented to curb the spread of the coronavirus. Please read the letters below.

What is WeShare?

WeShare provides parishioners a simple, secure and convenient way to support Good Shepherd Catholic Community (GSCC) by enabling you to transfer your donations directly from your checking, savings or credit card accounts through automated giving.

What is Automated Giving?

An alternate means of support for GSCC instead of envelopes.  In lieu of weekly collections, WeShare program will collect bimonthly or monthly contributions from you checking, saving or credit card account.  There is NO cost to participate in the program.

What are the benefits to me?

  • Allows you to plan your giving, in the same way you budget other financial commitments
  • You no long have to be concerned about catching up missed offertory donations which you miss Mass because you are out of town, on vacation, ill etc.
  • You can easily adjust the amount of your automated contribution (increase or decrease) via secure website access
  • You no long need to write  check every week

How does this benefit GSCC?

  • Reduces volunteer counter and staff time in counting and depositing donations
  • Information about donations is automatically entered into parish system which keeps track of donations reducing staff computer time
  • Gives the parish a consistent income stream which permits the parish better budgeting ability

How does it relate to the use of weekly envelopes?

If you choose to participate in WeShare this can replace your weekly envelopes.

What about Special Collections?

You can specify your giving preference for Second Collections and special celebration dates (e.g., Christmas, Easter) when you join WeShare or anytime thereafter.

Can I give a one-time donation?

Yes, a special on-time gift can be made.
