Giving

Each one of us has been bestowed with many gifts from the Lord: the gifts of our unique talents, the gifts of our time here on earth and material gifts, as well. 

We are called to be good stewards of these gifts – to use them to help build up His Kingdom on Earth and to provide for others who are less fortunate. As Christian stewards, we are asked to use our time and talents to advance the ministry of the Church and to donate a portion of our treasure for the Lord’s work.

We all are invited to support our parish and our local community. There are many ways to do this: through weekly donations, special collections, crisis and disaster relief efforts, bequests, gifts of stock, and more. In the coming months, additional resources will be posted and made available on how you can help support the Church in your community.

Online Giving

More and more people nowadays find it easier and more convenient to give online. Responding to people's needs and desires, we have partnered with Canada Helps to process online donations. The system is very flexible: you can make a one-time donation or you can set up a monthly recurring donation - it's up to you! 

Can I designate my donation to a particular parish or ministry? Yes! Just enter any instructions into the message/instructions field. The accounting department at the diocesan offices will direct the funds accordingly.

Am I going to receive unsolicited offers and requests from the diocesan offices if I donate online? No! We may send a thank you note, and Canada Helps will send you a receipt. That's it!
