Parish News

We're pleased to announce that the GiveCentral.org payment portal is now up and running!

Give Central provides anyone -- parishioners, non-parishioner, school families, alumni, anonymous donors, etc. -- with the ability to make secure online electronic payments and donations to our parish and school. You may use Give Central to donate Sunday or special offerings, make tuition and fee payments, pay religious education tuition and fees, donate to fund-raising efforts and much more!

With one individual login, you can direct payments to St. Hilary Parish or School, as well as any other participating parish or school in the Archdiocese of Chicago. Payment methods are fully user-managed and include one-time or recurring withdrawals from bank accounts, debit and credit cards. You can even pay tuition from one account and Sunday offerings with another. Only you have the control over how and when payments are made, and your financial account data is never stored locally by our parish or school. The payment processing engine behind www.givecentral.org is one of the largest transaction processors in the United States, and their systems are completely PCI-compliant and secure.

In addition to our paper collection, there are many other ways we can help St. Hilary School earn money each year through the Box Tops for Education Program. CUT IT OUT! you say. Yet, that is all you need to do - just clip the Box Tops for Education coupons from hundred of your favorite products and send/bring them to the school in an envelope marked ”Box Tops”. You can make a difference for St. Hilary each time you shop for groceries. This past school year Box Tops helped St. Hilary School provide shirts for the Peacemakers among other things. A list of participating products may be picked up at the school office or the California vestibule of the church.

Labels for Education takes only few moments of your time to save certain markings from food products purchased - for example Campbell’s, Pepperidge Farm, Franco-American, V-8, Swanson, Prego, and selected MARKET DAY products. (St. Hilary can win in two ways!) Through this program, St. Hilary School has been able to obtain supplies for the playground & after-school care, as well as nutrition charts & globe for classrooms. A list of products may be picked up at the school office or the California vestibule of the church.

The first graders are saving the flip tops from cans to benefit the Ronald McDonald House.

Also, drop off your no longer usable cell phones, as well as empty inkjet, laser & fax cartridges from home, relatives, work & friends at the school office. These, too, may be turned in to benefit the school and to help with recycling as well. Through the monetary rebates we have received so far, the school has been able to purchase printers, monitors & other computer hardware for the school’s technology lab.

Remember — any of these items may also be dropped off with the teacher & students in the parking lot on Green Sunday (the 1st Sunday of each month depending on weather.)
