You may still do automatic payments from your bank account or use the link below to pay this year’s pledge or to make a special contribution via PayPal or credit card to support St. John’s community. If you have questions or wish to initiate automatic payments for your pledge, please email pledge@stjohnsuu.org. Thank you for your generosity!





Payment via credit card or PayPal incurs a fee so if you use these payment methods, we ask that you consider including an extra amount in your pledge to cover the service fee. St. John’s does not pay a fee for direct electronic transfers from your bank to St. John’s and we encourage you to use this payment method, which is very easy. Contact pledge@stjohnsuu.org for more information.
