Our Lady of Refuge
Our Lady of Refuge Parish is a flourishing Catholic community nestled in Long Beach, California. As new giving technologies developed, the parish began to look for innovative ways to provide a steady source of income to fund their ministries.
Initially Our Lady of Refuge selected Vanco for online giving but experienced limited results and felt a need for greater administrative support and marketing assistance to ensure success. It became clear to parish staff that a complete online giving solution would be required to grow their eGiving program and sustain the ministries that do so much to help the community.

The Church teaches us that for adults who are able, offering some form of financial support to your home church is an obligation. St. Thomas Aquinas in Avondale, Arizona needed reliable and active monetary giving to facilitate this mission.
For much of the decade that St. Thomas Aquinas used Our Sunday Visitor for online giving, the parish staff was overwhelmed by the amount of effort required to keep the program up and running. While St. Thomas Aquinas was able to sign up 376 online givers by the summer of 2018, there was clearly room for improvement.

Church of the Resurrection is a large, thriving Catholic community in Ellicott City, Maryland - a town rich in history that is part of Baltimore's bustling suburbs.
Three years ago, all Religious Education registrations were handled using paper forms and cash or check payments - a process that took a great deal of time and could result in mistakes and misunderstandings. Their families are both busy and digitally savvy, so the parish knew that simplifying the registration process for Religious Education had the potential to make life easier for parishioners.
