NEW THIS YEAR
In-Pew CDA Cards
Our new CDA “Commitment Cards” offer pledge, one-time or recurring monthly giving
options, have tailored suggested giving amounts, and are now 2-sided.
Front –
Parish Card
Back –
Parish Card
Bank
We have changed our lockbox provider. CDA commitment cards will now be mailed directly to
the lockbox provider in Texas.
In-Pew CDA Materials/Process
• Due to the unknowns of Covid-19 and reduced attendance at Masses, we have this year
included a yellow reply envelope in EVERY CDA ENVELOPE at your parish. This gives people
the option to mail their gifts directly to the lockbox, though many will still return to your
parish. (Note: The new mailing address is on the yellow envelope)
• In-Pew material quantities sent to parishes are being reduced, due to reduced Mass
attendance. If you run low, please contact Jacqueline Valencia at 602-354-2236.
• No pens are included this year. However, if you need some, please contact Jacqueline
Valencia – we DO have some leftover from last year.
• Note the new gift processing instructions for your parish on pages 17-21 of this packet.
