Ways to Give

Your donation is important to us. You may give a gift of cash, check, money order, credit card, or a gift of stock.
A gift of cash should be made personally, either through your parish or directly to the diocese.
A gift by check or money order may be made payable to the Bishop's Annual Appeal.
    P.O. Box 4887
    701 Lawrenceville Road
    Trenton, New Jersey, 08650-4887
Please enclose a pledge card or the following information:  name, address, telephone number and name of your parish.
If you wish to make a pledge, you may do so online or you may contact the Development Office at develop@dioceseoftrenton.org or 609-406-7400 ext. 5632: The ideal way to give is to select a gift that you can manage on a monthly basis. Pledging a gift over 10 months enables you to give generously in balance with other financial responsibilities.

Credit Card Payment(s)

This is possibly the easiest method and may reap you rewards on your credit card such as airline miles or cash back. You can make a one-time payment or monthly payments on your credit card. Fill out the Credit Card authorization on the pledge envelope. Or, make a pledge. We will send you a statement each month, on which you may fill out the necessary credit card information. Be sure to check what type of card you are using and the expiration date. We accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. Click here to donate via our secure sever.

Monthly Billing

Make a pledge today and we will send you monthly reminders. There is no minimum payment, just the good faith that you will fulfill your pledge by the end of the Appeal campaign (10 months).

Gifts of Stock

When transferring securities, please call or send a letter to the Bishop's Appeal Office, 701 Lawrenceville Road, Trenton, NJ 08648 or 609-406-7400 ext. 5632 along with the following information:
  • Your name, as donor
  • Your address
  • Your parish
  • The number of shares and the name of the securities
This will ensure that you will receive proper credit and an acknowledgement letter stating the market value of your donation.
We will provide you with transfer instructions, such as DTC number as well as the account number and additional information.
Have you often hoped to have enough money to leave a bequest to your church. The church you were raised in, received the sacraments, educated you and your children and which has been a source of greatest comfort in the most stressful times of your life.
Your parish may have changed over the years, but it is still the same Roman Catholic Church that you and I have such great pride and love for. I want what I have received to be available for the generations to follow: The Blessed Sacrament, the Liturgy of the Word, the Sacraments, which makes us members of this great institution which Jesus, Himself has left for us, and are so very important to our life.
If you share any of these feelings, you too, may often hope you can give to your church for what you have received.
