The church realizes that the use of weekly offertory envelopes might no longer be a convenient option. Most Holy Trinity is exploring the best way to initiate online giving. In the meantime, might we recommend direct withdrawal? It is quite easy to arrange. Your bank could send contributions directly to Most Holy Trinity weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc. It is completely up to you! When you are on vacation or visiting another parish, your contribution to MHT will always be on time. Several parishioners have begun to use direct withdrawal already for their Sunday offertory! (However, special collection envelopes will continue to be mailed to you.) If you have any questions about this method of giving, please contact Mike in the office 814-643-0160. Our Most Holy Trinity family thanks you for your continued support of the parish!
