1 e-Give: Donate Electronically
St Stephen's uses Pllenty, the same electronic payment system used by St James Cathedral.
Pllenty is an online version of the retail cashier's debit/credit terminal and charges the same fee, 2.5%. For most donations, this is the lowest cost option, even lower than the cost of depositing a paper cheque.
The gifts you give through Pllenty will be included in your, single, St Stephen's charitable tax receipt, that we issue at tax time and you will receive no additional solicitations from other charities.
Should you wish to change or cancel a recurring payment you setup through Pllenty, contact the Parish Office. Changes and cancelations take effect immediately.
