Special event payments and reminders

Please see below a message from Jordan Harper with Catholic Mutual Group, regarding special event payments. 

We have been experiencing a large volume of unpaid special events.

The parish/school is responsible for entering the online special event applications – not the lessee/renter. The parish/school should submit payment via Bill.com as soon as the parish/school receives the special event approval email. The special event approval email includes the special event approval number which should also be included in the Bill.com payment as the invoice number.

Please remember, to receive the special event approval email, the appropriate email address must be included in the online application. If the parish/school wants multiple people to receive an approval email, please be sure to add those email addresses in the online form and separate those email addresses with a comma. It is recommended that the parish/school contact responsible for submitting special event payments via Bill.com be included in all special event applications so they can receive the approval email with the approval number and process the payment timely.

Emails for Approval Notification Example:

Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

Sincerely,
