Payments, Stipend Summaries, and Receipts

My Parish includes a Payments & Receipts section where you can view stipend summaries, check payment status, and download receipts for your records.

Accessing payments and receipts​

Sign in and choose Payments & Receipts in the My Parish sidebar. It has two tabs: Stipend Summaries and Receipts.

Stipend summaries tab​

Stipend summaries show what you owe or have paid for your intention requests.

:::note Stipend summaries vs. invoices In Sacramentum, a stipend summary serves the same purpose an invoice usually would: it summarizes what is due (or already paid) for your intention requests. :::

Filtering stipend summaries​

Use the filter buttons to view:

  • Outstanding — Stipend summaries with a balance still due
  • Paid — Stipend summaries that have been fully paid

A summary line shows the count for each: "Outstanding: X · Paid: Y"

Stipend summary information​

Each stipend summary displays:

FieldDescription
ReferenceThe stipend summary reference number (e.g., STI-2026-00001)
Issue DateWhen the stipend summary was created
Due DateWhen payment is expected (if set)
TotalThe full amount for the stipend summary
Balance DueAmount remaining to pay

Viewing and paying a stipend summary​

Click View / Pay to open the stipend summary details. The stipend summary viewer shows the parish information, your contact details, each intention included, and the amounts.

For outstanding stipend summaries: A Complete offering button lets you pay the balance online. Clicking it takes you to a secure Stripe payment page. After payment, you're returned to Payments & Receipts, with the paid stipend summary open, and a receipt is generated.

For paid stipend summaries: You can review the details and use the action buttons to print, copy a link, or download a PDF.

Receipts tab​

Receipts are generated after payment is completed. They serve as your official record of payment.

Filtering receipts​

Use the filter buttons to view:

  • Active — Valid receipts
  • Voided — Receipts that have been cancelled (e.g., due to a refund)

A summary line shows the count: "Active: X · Voided: Y"

Receipt information​

Each receipt displays:

FieldDescription
Receipt #The receipt number (e.g., REC-2026-00001)
Issue DateWhen the receipt was generated
Payment MethodHow you paid (Credit Card, Cash, Check, etc.)
TotalThe amount paid
Status"Issued" (green) or "Voided" (red)

Viewing a receipt​

Click View to open the receipt details. The receipt viewer shows the parish header, your billing information, each intention with its amount, and the total breakdown. If you requested a paid Mass card, its Pickup/Mail method, recipient, and fee appear as a separate line.

Voided receipts: If a receipt has been voided, you'll see a note explaining when and why.

Receipt actions​

From the receipt viewer, you can:

  • Print — Opens your browser's print dialog for a paper copy
  • Email — Sends a copy of the receipt to your email address
  • Download PDF — Saves a professional PDF to your device

Downloaded PDFs include the parish branding and all receipt details—suitable for tax records or charitable contribution documentation.

:::tip Keep receipts for your records Downloaded receipt PDFs can be used to document charitable contributions. The receipt includes the parish's information, your name, the amount, and the date. :::

Payment methods​

Receipts show the payment method used:

  • Credit Card — Online payment via Stripe
  • Cash — Payment made in person at the parish
  • Check — Payment by check
  • Bank Transfer — Direct deposit or wire transfer
  • Other — Miscellaneous payment method

If you paid online, the method will be "Credit Card." Other methods appear when parish staff records an offline payment.

When receipts are generated​

For online payments: A receipt is generated automatically when your payment completes. It's usually available within seconds on the success page and in My Parish.

For offline payments: The parish creates a receipt manually after recording your payment. Check back in My Parish or contact the parish if you need a receipt for an offline payment.

Troubleshooting​

My receipt isn't showing yet

Receipts are generated after payment confirmation. If you just completed payment, wait a few seconds and refresh. If it still doesn't appear, check your email for the confirmation.

I need a receipt for a cash payment I made at the parish

Contact the parish office. They can create a receipt for offline payments and it will appear in My Parish.

My stipend summary shows a balance but I already paid

It may take a moment for payment to process. If the balance persists after a few minutes, contact the parish to verify payment was received.
