Automatic Bill Payment/Direct Withdrawal: 
This is Saint Anthony of Padua'ls preferred option. Unlike WeShare (see tab below) and credit cards which exact transaction fees from your contributions, all of your contributions would go to Saint Anthony's Parish by taking advantage of this method.  As a courtesy to customers many banks and credit unions offer a free online bill payment service.  Just as you would do with any other bill, simply arrange for your bank, either online or in person, to automatically mail a weekly check to The Church of Saint Anthony of Padua, 85 Harrison Street, West Harrison, New York 10604.  You can set a specific amount to be deducted from your account each week.  Please note that even though this method is automatic, you can always stop or change the amounts being deducted from your account to Saint Anthony's at anytime.  For more information on how to do this you can click here.  It will take you to a website called e-how.

Online Giving or WeShare
In addition to the standard methods of contributing to the Sunday collections i.e. envelopes, check, or cash, like automatic bill pay (see tab above) WeShare (formally called ParishPay) will provide additional benefits to Saint Anthony's Parish. Please keep in mind that like a credit card, WeShare enacts a small transaction fee in order to provide this service. This fee is offset by the increased giving that occurs through this process and also eliminates the cost of envelopes and other administrative costs associated with collections.  We recommend selecting the checking/savings direct withdrawal option due to the very low transaction fees as oppossed to the option for debit or credit cards which tend to be higher.

Parish Envelopes:  This is the most traditional and longstanding method of offering your weekly contribution.  A box of envelopes for the year will be mailed to your home (the box of envelopes will include the 52 weeks of the year and all required second collections.)  Your contribution as cash or check is put into the envelope and placed in the collection basket each week.  You are also welcome to mail in your envelope to the parish if you are planning on being away or because of extenuating situations (weather, health…) that prevent you from coming to Mass.  If you would like envelopes mailed to your home, please click here.
