It has saved time and paperwork for staff members, all while increasing organization within each department. Sue Mann Prince of Peace We love the fact that WeShare provides significantly more features than a local bank, how easy it is for parishioners to make any changes within their online giving personal account, and of course, the WeShare support team. We used all the different types of awareness tools that WeShare provides prior to kicking-off the system. Our next plan of action is to work with our school to use WeShare to process tuition, collect dues, sell, and of course, donate. Deacon Dan Lombardi St. John Nepomuk, Yukon, OK We started WeShare in June of 2014, and kicked off the site to our parishioners that September. We used most of the available resources LPi provides to help spread the words: flyers, bulletin articles, website articles, social media and the website. Since then, we have experienced positive feedback. We are happy with the tool so far, and hope to expand it even further in the future. Patti Myers, Parish Secretary Guardian Angels, Santee, CA Prior to WeShare, St. Matthias was using an EFT program that was “clumsy and hard to use.” WeShare is very easy to use. With online giving, donors can use credit cards to make donations. Last winter, we had to close the church many times because of severe winter weather. It was then that we realized the importance of online giving! We use the site for everything, from festival sponsorships, dinners, child care fees, and sacramental prep fees. Mike Angeli, Director of Administration St Matthias, Milwaukee, WI It’s easy, easy, easy to import transfer reports into my PDS now that we use WeShare for our online giving solution – it’s going very well! I usually will go in and do imports once a week, but if I forget to import, it’s very easy to catch up. We already have 35 online giving donors now, and it’s still just as quick and easy to put all the information into PDS! Janet Byrne Basilica of St. Peter and Paul, Chattanooga, TN Importing into PDS is very simple with WeShare’s online giving system. You just have to make a few clicks and then it’s done. Mary Fabian St. John Paul II, Lake View, NY We have more than doubled (nearly tripled) our online donations/payments in just under two months since our implementation of WeShare.
