  2. In PushPay, set up your recurring gift. The campaign is already selected.

To pay by check, make it payable to your parish and write the campaign name in the memo line. For stock, QCD, or planned giving, contact the staff member that the page names.

  2. Open the form again. The form shows your current pledge.
