Welcome to the Development Office! Our office works with the parish and school in helping it to further its Stewardship Program. Margaret Powers concentrates on development and stewardship for the parish, Jill Conaway works specifically with the Sacred Hearts School Endowment Fund while Jessica Meyer works with the Christian Formation Fund.
Plan to get involved with us - and please consider a gift or a remembrance in your Living Will to Sacred Hearts Parish or School. Remember, we accept gifts of cash, stocks, bonds, land, property, collectable art and other items of value. Let us know if we can be of assistance.
Sacred Hearts is part of the Amazon Smile charitable organizations. AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support our Parish & School every time you shop. It's easy and costs you nothing to donate. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you'll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate 0.5% of the purchase price of eligible products to Sacred Hearts.
You can use your existing Amazon.com account to donate through AmazonSmile. Your shopping cart, Wish List, wedding or baby registry, and other account settings are also the same. On your first visit to AmazonSmile and before you begin shopping, select Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary School and Church (Sun Prairie Sacred Hearts ) as the charitable organization you wish to receive donations from all eligible purchases. If you are not prompted to designate a charity, or if you have a charity but would like to change it to Sacred Hearts, below the search line click the down arrow where it is marked "Supporting". It will then prompt you to designate (or change) your charity. Thanks for helping us out - it is truly appreciated!
We are pleased to offer you a service designed to better help you in your busy lifestyle. The Direct Contribution Plan is an excellent way for Sacred Hearts to assist our members in their contribution commitments. Many of us already use Electronic Funds Transfers (EFT) to pay our mortgages, utility bills, insurance payments, etc. We write fewer checks and buy fewer stamps and never miss a due date. With this in mind, Sacred Hearts would like to give you the opportunity to give your church contribution through EFT.
This will not only help us meet our commitment to God in a timely and convenient manner, but it will also help us when we are sick, on vacation or out of town. It helps us to make our commitment to God a priority in our budget. It helps level out our giving throughout the year and saves us with trying to play "clean-up" at the end of the year.
We authorize contributions to be made from your checking or savings account on the 15th of each month. Proof of your contribution will appear on your bank statement and on your church's annual giving statement sent from Sacred Hearts. Authority you grant to charge your contributions to your bank account remains in effect until you notify Sacred Hearts to change it or discountinue it. The Direct Contribution Plan is dependable, flexible and convenient.
You can download the Authorization Form HERE, complete the requested information and return it to the Parish Center or place it in the Collection Basket.
The form is in PDF format, and will require the Adobe Acrobat Reader software. If you do not have the software installed on your machine, you can download and install a free copy by clicking on the Adobe logo.
If you have any questions, or need help in some way, please feel free to give Margaret Powers - Director of Parish Stewardship & Development 837-7381 ext. 234 a call.
