Christmas Offerings

This past year has challenged us all, it has been a year of many events that have touched our lives and hearts in different ways.  Now Christmas is almost here, and it is a great time of peace and joy.  It is a time for us to celebrate with our families, loved ones and friends.

Your generosity and support of our churches is very much appreciated.  You have also embraced our priests, for which we are thankful.  This year has been the most unprecedented of our time and your financial support of our churches and priests has been heart-warming.

During all our Christmas Masses there will be a collection taken for the support of Frs Brendan, Trac and Jude to help meet normal household expenses and stipends, as well as contributing towards the support of retired priests and those priests in the Archdiocese who are in need of financial support.

For many parishioners who have enquired as to how to make their Christmas Offering, there are a number of ways to make a contribution:

  • You may contribute directly to the Presbytery Account by:
    • The Generous App (Download easy to follow steps)
    • Donate via our website
    • Electronically transfer the funds into the bank account (see For Electronic Giving at the bottom of the e-Newsletter)
    • You may place your contribution in the collection that will be taken up during the Christmas Masses.
Thank you for your support.  May His love surround you this Christmas season and always.

 

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” – Isaiah 9:6
