St. Mary's accepts cash (when included in a pledge envelope), checks, MasterCard, or Visa. If you use a credit card, consider adding an additional three percent to your pledge to cover bank processing costs. You may also make a pledge payment of stock or other securities. In most cases, such a pledge payment may be considered a charitable deduction to avoid capital gains on the appreciation of the stock. Do not sell appreciated securities through your broker that you plan to gift, have the Parish liquidate the securities allowing you to avoid capital gains tax.  Please call the office at 651-345-4134 to learn how to make a gift of securities.
