Donation Instructions for the "Olive Oil Program" of St. George Melkite Greek Catholic Church via PayPal
 

According to American law, it is legal to donate tax deductable money from the United States of America to St. George Melkite Greek Catholic Church via Holy Cross Melkite Greek Catholic Church. This donation money is tax deductable because the donation check is made out to a Catholic Church located in the United States of America.

When American banks transfer money from an American bank account to a Bank Account within the Palestine National Authority, American banks must obey American laws. This means, that all American money, which is transferred to banks within the Palestine National Authority, is transferred via an American government approved transfer bank. This bank checks if the person receiving the money has any terrorist connections. No bank transfer to Abouna Firas Boutros Khoury Diab has been stopped.

Money donated via PalPay goes into the Bank Account of Martha Liles and Fr. James Babcock for St. George Church in an American bank in the United States of America. Usually, within one week, Martha Liles gives to the American bank the papers to transfer that money to the bank account for St. George Melkite Greek Church within the Palestinian National Authority. This Palestinian bank account is handled by Abouna Firas Khoury Diab.

The usual procedure is that Abouna / Rev. Father James Babcock and Martha Liles do not send the donor a receipt. To obtain a receipt, the donor must ask for a receipt.

  • Select Personal, not Purchase. Select Gift.
    All money sent to St. George Melkite Greek Catholic Church via PayPal is a donation. PayPal asks the user to select Purchase and Personal. Donation is not a Category. According to a PalPay Representative, Donation is a Personal Gift. Then, choose Personal, not Purchase. Within Personal, choose Gift. Do not choose Payent Owed, Cash Advance, Living Expense, and Other.
    Legally, you are giving a gift, a suggested donation, to St. George Church. Legally, you are not purchasing an item because items made by members of St. George Church are not for sale. St. George Church can not sell items because it does not have a Business License in the United States of America.
    No item made by St. George Church has been sold. There are no plans to sell items. One reason is the high cost of transportation would make the cost of the exported items so high that a cost conscious person would buy from other vendor.
    Furthermore, if you choose Purchase, PayPal will subtract a Purchase fee from the donation. For money sent within the United States, this Fee is 2.9% of the total amount plus $.30. For money sent outside the United States, this Fee is 3.9% of the total amount plus $.30. If you choose Personal, Gift, Paypal will not take this Fee.
