Frequently Asked Questions

Make a Recurring Gift

• What is a recurring gift?
  A recurring gift is an automatic, regular donation you set up to support St. Monica. You can choose the amount and frequency—weekly, monthly, or quarterly—and it’s an easy way to provide consistent support for the parish’s mission and ministries.
• Why should I choose a recurring gift?
  Recurring giving offers several benefits:

  • Convenience: Once set up, your gift is automatically processed, so you don’t have to worry about remembering to give.
  • Flexibility: You can change the amount or frequency of your gift at any time.
  • Impact: Consistent giving allows St. Monica to better plan and budget for the future, ensuring we have the resources to sustain our ministries throughout the year.
• How do I set up a recurring gift?
  You can set up a recurring gift through our secure online platform, GiveCentral. Simply choose “Recurring Gift” when selecting your donation type, decide how often you’d like to give and enter your payment details. It only takes a few minutes.
• Can I change or cancel my recurring gift?
  Yes! You have complete control over your gift. You can log into your GiveCentral account anytime to adjust the amount, change the frequency, or stop the donations.
• What payment methods are accepted for recurring gifts?
  We accept donations via credit card, debit card, or direct withdrawal from your checking account (ACH). Choose the option that works best for you.
• Is my recurring gift tax-deductible?
  Yes, all donations to St. Monica are tax-deductible. You’ll receive an annual giving statement summarizing your contributions, which you can use for tax purposes.
• How does my recurring gift support St. Monica?
  Your recurring gift supports the parish's everyday operations, from maintaining our facilities to funding over 100 ministries, outreach programs, and spiritual growth opportunities. It helps us plan ahead and continue our work serving the community.
• Can I make a one-time gift instead?
  Absolutely! If you’re not ready to commit to a recurring gift, a single contribution is always welcome. You can make a one-time donation here.
• What if I have questions or need help setting up my gift?
  As always, if you would like individual assistance from our donor relations staff—Michelle Dao and Merrick Siebenaler—feel free to call (310) 566-1552 or email . We are more than happy to process any requests or changes to your giving amount, frequency, and payment information.
