St. Simon Stock Parish has enlisted Parish Giving to provide its members with the opportunity to use Electronic Funds Transfer as an alternative method for giving. The Program is free of charge for parishioners.
Parish Giving allows participants to donate a recurring contribution that is automatically transferred from your checking or savings account, or even credit card, on a monthly basis, and you select your own billing date. This Program can be utilized for your Sunday contributions, as well as any Holy Day Collection and all Archdiocesan collections.
The use of EFT is not only time saving and convenient for you, but also allows our Parish to realize a more consistent level of support. By signing up for Parish Giving, you will know that you are doing your part to support the Parish even at times you are not able to physically present to celebrate with the Parish Community.

2026 APPEAL: “Missionaries of Mercy”
This year’s theme: “Missionaries of Mercy,” calls upon us to act with compassion toward others, bringing to life the corporal and spiritual works of mercy that strengthen the Church.
Through the Catholic Ministries Appeal, we support those in need throughout the six counties of the Diocese of Camden.
Your gift to the Catholic Ministries Appeal Provides:
Social, Community and Health Care Services
Your generosity provides services through Catholic Charities offices in the six counties of South Jersey. VITALity’s Hospital Chaplaincy is able to provide spiritual and emotional support to patients, their families and staff through your donations. Together, we offer support to the weak, vulnerable, and disenfranchised.
Evangelization and Faith Formation
Lay leadership training, intercultural ministries, ministry with the deaf and persons with disabilities, marriage enrichment, adult faith formation, liturgical catechesis and other evangelization efforts, including ManUp, which, along with your gifts, kindle the fire of faith into a bright beacon for all to see.
Youth, Young Adult and Campus Ministries
Your donation enables programs like Summer in the City, Catholic Scouting, Theology on Tap, college campus ministries and Newman Centers, and support for a growing number of parish-based Youth Ministry programs and many more activities to build community and prepare our youth and young adults for the mission that God has chosen for them.
Vocations, Seminarian & Permanent Diaconate Formation, Care of Priests
Your support ensures that pastors and clergy continue to bring the light of Jesus into the world. Through prayers and support, we currently have seminarians studying for the priesthood in the Diocese of Camden.
Catholic Education – “Forming minds and hearts in grace”
Catholic schools are an integral part of the teaching mission of the Church.
Catholic schools build faith, develop leadership ability and provide academic excellence in a safe environment.
Your gift will help keep tuition affordable for families to send children to schools that will support Catholic values, develop character and provide academic excellence.
Incentives for Parish Initiatives
When our parish collects its goal amount, up to 10% is returned to our parish for our local charitable needs. Additionally, 75% of all funds received above our parish goal will also be returned to our parish to foster our charitable and ministerial work.
We invite all parishioners to participate in this important effort.
During Catholic Ministries Appeal Weekend, please make your sacrificial gift to help continue the mission of the Church here in the Diocese of Camden!

You can lower your taxable income with a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). If you are age 70 ½ or older, you must take required minimum distributions (RMDs) each year from your tax-deferred retirement accounts. The distributions can increase your income and move you into a higher tax bracket or make you ineligible for some tax credits or deductions. A QCD can reduce your income and help you to have a lower tax bill. Up to $100,000 per IRA owner can be donated per year to reduce your tax liability. Please consult a tax advisor to learn about making a QCD.
