Sacred Heart offers opportunities for giving in other ways:

1. Traditional Offertory Envelopes
   
2. PayPal
3. Tax Advantaged Giving

Our traditional offertory envelopes allow for parishioners to give weekly or monthly to meet our financial obligations, to pay our diocesan assessments, and to fund our future growth as a community. You can also choose to direct your gift to specific funds, such as Offertory, the Annual Pastoral Appeal (APA), our True North Vision, or Church Maintenance & Repair, etc. If you would like traditional envelopes, please contact Larry Cabrera by email or call the parish office at (813) 229-1595.

Online Giving with our previous system.
If you used our previous online giving system through Our Sunday Visitor (OSV), Sacred Heart will be phasing out use of this system in the near future, however, the parish is not able to make changes to your account. As you transfer your online giving to the new GiveCentral platform, you should also cancel (not suspend) your giving from OSV as well as cancel your payment methods. Need help in transition? contact Larry Cabrera via email or call the parish office at (813) 229-1595. Both platforms will be operational to allow our parishioners time to update their accounts.
