Donate

Donating to the ongoing project of restoring and maintaining Carmel Mission allows a person to become part of the very fabric of this historic place. It is invigorating to know that as you walk through these wondrous buildings, exhibits and garden pathways, that you are a part of a tradition that spans over two centuries of California History. It was here that Junipero Serra oversaw the mission system which eventually gave way to the religious and social structures that would become the “Golden State.” You can help in various ways.

Electric Giving

Electronic Giving is convenient for you, secure and saves money by reducing mailing and handling costs. There is no cost for you to participate.

If you are currently giving on a weekly basis, you will no longer need to write out 52 checks and envelopes. When you cannot attend services, this program will allow your weekly offerings to continue on, on an uninterrupted basis. You may set up electronic giving directly on our website by clicking the “Donate” button below.

Or you may download the electronic giving form (click to download form) and drop off a signed copy to the parish office. Your automatic offering can be stopped at any time. Many people have used their credit card for these offerings earning them airline miles and other benefits from their credit card provider.
