How the Electronic Offering Program (EOP) Functions

Fill out the Donor Registration/Amendment Form and send it into your parish office or mail directly to the Program Administrator c/o Diocese of Algoma.

Electronically money will be withdrawn from your account on the 15th of each month. If the parish/ministry registers their bank account with the EOP, the donation will be deposited to the parish/ministry's bank account 5 business days later.

To amend, suspend or cancel an electronic offering, send a  Donor Registration/Amendment Form to the Program Administrator. Suspension is temporary, up to six months. After six months the parish will be charged a set-up fee, like a new donor.

Tokens (wooden crosses) will be supplied to your parish, which can be put into the offering plate as a symbol of your offering to the Lord, and to indicate you have donated through the Electronic Offering Program.

The fees for this program are paid by the parish. See the EOP Manual for further details.

Questions may be directed to your Parish Rector, Churchwardens, or to the EOP Program Administrator.

Envelope Secretary/Income Tax Receipts

The Envelope Secretary or parish/ministry Treasurer is responsible for issuing the income tax receipt for the Electronic Offering Program donor. Envelopes do not need to be issued to Electronic Offering donors, although  the parish may wish to supply some loose envelops for special donations.

The Program Administrator sends the Parish/Ministry Contact a Monthly Donor Report listing who gave how much.

PWRDF

Funds donated to  PWRDF will be remitted to the parish since the parish issues the income tax receipt.

Other Ministries

Funds donated to other ministries (Mission to Seafarers, Camp Gitchigomee, etc.) are remitted to them by the EOP. The Treasurer from the ministry issues the income tax receipt.

For further information, refer to the EOP Manual.
