Giving just got easier

Your generosity and support of our churches and our priests is very much appreciated.  We rely on the efforts of our dedicated clergy, staff and volunteers to provide the necessary practical support to sustain our parish.  Your financial commitment allows us to keep our parish running, maintain our buildings and help us to plan and support the pastoral initiatives that make up our parish life.

There are many ways in which you may provide financial support, and it has just gotten easier as we now have available at three of our churches, tap and pay EFTPOS terminals that allow $5, $10, $25 and $50 donations as well as “custom amount” donations to be made to Our Lady of Pentecost Parish.  The terminals are located at 

  • Our Lady of Good Counsel Church – located in the Gathering Space
  • Our Lady of Victories Basilica – located in the foyer
  • Our Holy Redeemer Church – located in the foyer

These terminals may be used with any contactless credit or debit card, telephone, watch or similar tap-to-pay device.  Your transactions are accepted as a donation to our parish and priests.

Our traditional collection during Mass will remain exactly the same for those that give by way of Stewardship envelopes or for the many who like to donate with cash for the support of Frs. Sang and Hoang to help meet their 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.  

Alternately you may wish to transfer funds electronically, our bank account details are as follows:

Our Lady of Pentecost Church Account
BSB: 083 347
Account Number: 68679 0501

Our Lady of Pentecost Presbytery Account
BSB:  083 347
Account Number:  69440 0585

Or if you would like to make regular contributions by way of credit card, direct debit, or would like your own set of giving envelopes, please contact Kate Baines at the Parish Office.  

Together, let us continue to work together to meet the various needs of our parish.

Thank you for your support.
