COLLECTION UPDATES

Message from Our Envelope Provider: Beginning Sept. 30, 2026, Cathedral Letter Concepts (Cathedral Corporation) partnered with Our Sunday Visitor, a longtime leader in the church envelope business, to supply church offertory envelopes to our customers. After the transition to Our Sunday Visitor, which should take two to three months, you can expect excellent, on-time service with high-quality envelopes to continue without interruption. We have valued and continue to value the opportunity to supply your church envelope needs, having worked with many of you for decades. But, as the number and size of churches has grown smaller due to consolidation and declining membership, and the cost of envelope production technology has dramatically increased, it has become imperative to find a better way to supply church offering envelopes to our customers. Allowing Our Sunday Visitor to serve our church envelope customers is that answer.

In the meantime, please follow the important steps below if you are missing Giving Envelopes:

• If you are donating by check, simply write your envelope number (if you know it) on the memo line. You may place the unfolded check, without an outside envelope, in the collection basket. 
• If you are donating with cash, print your name and envelope number (if you know it) on the outside envelope (do not seal envelope) and place it in the collection basket. 
• If you have an unused envelope, you may use it, just cross-off the date and print the current date on the address side of the envelope.

IN ALL CASES, PLEASE NO SEALED OUTSIDE ENVELOPES!

Charitable Contributions to St. Joseph Church, Coopersburg, can provide support to the Parish, while providing financial and tax benefits for you and your family. For those that are over age 701⁄2, a very popular method of making charitable contributions is by a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA. This QCD amount is excluded from your taxable income. Talk to a professional tax advisor before you take any action regarding your IRA. If you have any questions about making a charitable gift, please feel free to contact Bob Carlin of the Parish Finance Committee @ 610-798-7220 or robertcarlin@rtcarlin.com with any questions.
