To enroll, visit: Faith Direct- OLGC
This site is the enrollment page, and it is here that you can enroll to setup your offering for: regular collection, Holy Days, one time gifts and non-parochial collections. If you do have questions, feel free to contact the Parish Office at 904-824-8688.
An alternative option for Our Lady of Good Counsel parishioners is to go online to your bank for an electronic bank check to be mailed (the bank actually sends a check drawn on your account to OLGC).
This method is currently being used by many parishioners. You can make it an automatic transaction with your bank to send your offering via a bank check either weekly or monthly. By using this method of payment, your offering will be received automatically, even if you are on vacation or unable to attend Mass.
Please provide your OLGC Parish envelope number to the bank when setting up your transaction.
A distribution from your IRA is a great way to support the Church!
If you reached the age of 70½, you may make a direct distribution (up to $100,000) from your IRA to a qualified charity, such as Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish. A qualified direct distribution to our parish from your IRA is not subject to income tax.
(For more information about how you and our church can benefit from an IRA charitable rollover, contact your IRA administrator, tax preparer, or the parish office for more information.)
