Christmas

Easter

We know Easter is one of your busiest seasons and we want to do everything we can to assist you. That’s why we’ve created this easy, affordable program. All of our packages are available in beautiful designs crafted by a Cathedral artist. These pieces will help you:

■Increase contributions

■Better communicate Holy Day

and weekly mass times

■Increase attendance

■Create a greater sense

of belonging

A Christmas envelope often brings in the largest collection of the year, and when you mail a special holiday envelope separately to all active and inactive families, it has been shown to increase the number of families who contribute. A special Christmas envelope also fosters a sense of occasion and community spirit. Cathedral Corporation has created special Christmas packages that are proven to:

■Increase contributions

■Better communicate holiday and weekly mass times

■Increase attendance

■Create a greater sense of belonging

All of our packages are affordably priced and easy to manage.

For the complete design collection, please go to parishessentials.com.

Did you know? Your parish can bene^t from

higher response rates during holiday seasons

by just providing your parishioners the

personal touch of our special mailing!

■Christmas envelope in set - Average $62.50; Response 37.1%

■Christmas envelope in special mailing - Average $84.40; Response 29.2%

That is a $21.90 increase per envelope!

solicitation. Within weeks, 600 contributions totaling more than $125,000

were collected – a 100% increase over previous efforts.

Online List Maintenance and NCOA

Link™

Contribution Recording and Reporting

Keeping your list accurate and up to date has never been easier. Cathedral Corporation provides NCOALink™ service

free-of-charge to all Online List Maintenance customers. While this service will reduce the amount of returned mail you receive, due to the length of time for production of your envelopes and time in transit for non-pro^t mail, you may still receive some returned mail pieces. In addition, about 15% of people who move do not provide a forwarding address. With Cathedral’s Online List Maintenance option, you’ll save staff time and have one master list to maintain. Simply log into our secure site with your password, and you’ll be able to:

■Add new members ■Delete members who have left the church

■Update address information ■Request a set of temporary envelopes be sent

■Assign envelope numbers ■Keep track of Increased Offertory Program participants

■View time and date of last update ■Add notes about members

■Mark members “Temporary Inactive” and ■Print or download parishioner lists

they will return to active status on the date you specify— great for snowbirds

All changes to your list are made in real time and are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Free for all Cathedral customers, you can access you list from any computer connected to the internet – even at home.

Parishes use Cathedral Corporation's Contribution Recording and Reporting Service as a tool for accurate, con^dential data management, and to better manage limited resources. You'll bene^t from improved reporting accuracy, as well as less burden on parish of^ce staff. We can also mail statements to individual members, as well as provide your church with presentation-quality reports at no extra charge.

How it works:

■Your Church removes offerings from the envelopes

and veri^es that the amount contained is clearly noted on the envelope face. Offerings not placed are simply notes on furnished credit slips.

Call us for a demo today!

■The empty

envelopes and credit slips are then packaged in return-addressed cartons (which we supply), and shipped to our of^ces once or twice

per month, depending on volume.

■Our data-entry professionals then carefully, accurately

and con^dentially enter the ^gures and prepare the data for the next step.
