We are using WeShare to collect payments (a secure, trusted platform for online giving used by Catholic parishes across the country. It is certified as a Level 1 Service Provider under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) — the highest level of payment security certification available — and undergoes an independent external audit each year to maintain that certification. All transactions are encrypted, and you can give safely using a bank account, debit card, or major credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express). Your financial information is never shared with the parish directly; it's handled entirely through WeShare's secure system, giving you peace of mind every time you give.
