Grace is Free...
but it doesn't pay the Electric Bill

The first and most important way to support the day-to-day operations of our parish is contributing to the weekly collection. If you would like to receive weekly church envelopes simply email or call (413) 527-9778 x10.

But there are many other ways that you might contribute which would help our parish grow such as planned giving. Please consider becoming a Benefactor of Our Lady of the Valley Parish. It's easy and best of all it's tax deductible.

Here are a few ways that you can help support
Our Lady of the Valley Parish:

	Automatic Offertory Donations: You now have the option to authorize OLV to automatically withdraw your offertory and special collection donations from your checking or savings account according to your specifications. This can be done thru any area bank or credit union. Simply download the Preauthorized Agreement Authorization Form (PDF), fill it out, and return it to the rectory—do not submit this information over the internet. Your agreement with your personal information will be securely maintained in the rectory and will only be shared with Easthampton Savings Bank and their vendor who provides the funds transfer services.

	Planned Giving: Our Lady of the Valley has an excellent and comprehensive Planned Giving Program for alumnae, families and friends who want to help secure the long term future of our parish by utilizing gifting strategies that will benefit both Our Lady of the Valley and themselves. Planned gifts often consist of gifts of assets rather than checks or cash. So talk it over with your family and then contact our Parish Office to implement your bequest.

	Shop at Amazon.com: Shop at Amazon.com, by first clicking any Amazon.com link on our OLV Website, and our parish will receive a percentage of your purchase (%6.5 on average). This does not increase the cost to you. Basically, Amazon is paying us to advertise for them. Any purchases made through featured product links on the OLV website or from the regular Amazon site (after first linking to Amazon from our site) results in Our Lady of the Valley receiving a percentage of the sale.
