We’re excited to share that in the coming weeks, Faith Direct will be upgrading to ParishSoft Giving, which will become our new, secure online giving platform. This change reflects our commitment to making generosity easier, more secure, and more impactful for every member of our faith community. St. Cecilia & the Diocese of Columbus already utilize ParishSoft as our church management software, which assists us in maintaining our parishioner directory & sacramental records. The upgrade from Faith Direct to ParishSoft Giving will further streamline our staff functions to keep our parishioner records in one location.
ParishSOFT Giving offers all the same reliable features you’ve come to know—recurring gifts, online giving, and donor support—plus new enhancements to better serve you:
- Modern giving options: including Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, PayPal, stock, and crypto
- Anonymous giving
- Mobile-friendly experience: give online, through the app, or by text
- Option to cover processing fees to maximize the impact of your generosity
- Donors can give based on your preferred schedule, with support for weekly contributions rather than once-a-month processing
We are confident that ParishSOFT Giving will make your online giving experience more convenient and meaningful. This upgrade will happen automatically and securely. If you currently utilize Faith Direct for your giving, no action is required from you – all of your existing information, recurring gifts, and donation history will transfer automatically. We are committed to making this a smooth transition, and you will receive more details as we get closer to the launch. Thank you for continuing to support St. Cecilia with such generous hearts!
