Pre-Authorized Giving

 

The work of the parish is made possible through our parishioners' gifts of time, talent, and treasure. These gifts make parish life truly vibrant and help us fulfill our mission of loving God and neighbour.

Pre-Authorized Giving ensures that the parish has a stable financial base to do its ministry work. Not only do you help build that solid financial base during reduced offering (e.g. snow days, summer vacations, stay-at-home orders during national emergencies, etc.), but also that peace of mind that your contributions have reached the parish every single month.

WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE

  • Advantages for the donor: Convenient and consisten offering, according to your means and continual support even when you are away
  • Advantages for the parish: Steady support throughout the year. Helps plan and manage parish needs and programs.
