Sacred Heart offers opportunities for giving in other ways: 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 Tony Miranda by email or call the parish office at (813) 229-1595. Are you a visitor looking to make a quick donation? A parishioner who forgot their envelope this Sunday? Don’t worry! We’ve got options! As we look for new ways to grow at Sacred Heart, we are happy to share a digital giving kiosk has been installed in the back of the church. We know many parishioners and visitors may no longer carry cash or checks, so we hope this addition is a helpful and convenient way to share your gifts. It’s secure, easy to use, and helps us continue the important work of our parish. Parishioners and visitors are also able to donate directly to Sacred Heart via PayPal, a safe, convenient, and fast way to contribute to our parish. Visit shfla.org/paypal or, if you are in the church, scan the QR code on the resource guides in the pews to make your donation today. Did you know that if you are over age 70-1/2 with tax-deferred IRAs, your required minimum distributions may be distributed directly to Sacred Heart, eliminating income tax on the amount of the distribution? For tax advantaged giving like this or donations of appreciated assets and stock, contact Tony Miranda via email or call the parish office at (813) 229-1595.

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 Tony Miranda 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.
