As a parish, we are also experiencing the financial effects of the coronavirus shutdown. We thank the many members of our community who continue to support us through Planned Giving, but we are aware that under current circumstances, the most common method of making these donations (by placing an envelope on the second collection each week) is not available.
During this time when we cannot meet together, we will still need to rely on the generosity of our church community through Planned Giving and donations. Whilst our public activities diminish, we still have a high percentage of fixed operational expenses in our budget that need to be met. Your support during this time is welcomed and appreciated.
Making donations by “electronic” transfer is very common these days, convenient and very easy to arrange. Regular donations by electronic transfer is our preferred method of supporting the parish. The various options and methods are set out below.
The best method of making donations or contributing to Planned Giving is by
Internet Banking
into the parish account. Most online banking applications have provision to set up regular payments, or you can make one-off payments as you wish. For security reasons, the account details are not posted on this web site, but you can obtain them by contacting the parish office or using this form.
Use this form to obtain our Bank Account details.
A second method is to authorise a
Direct Debit
from your account on a schedule you choose. Many people have chosen this method in place of using weekly envelopes for Planned Giving. This is similar to the way some utility bills are paid. You need to authorise this in writing by obtaining a form from the Parish Office using this form.
Use this form to request a Direct Debit form.
A third method is to make a one-off
Online Credit Card Payment
using the secure system provided by the Diocese. You can arrange a regular donation by electronic transfer, direct debit or by an on line donation using this link.

Remember to select “Parish Payment” from the first drop-down box, then “Toronto” as the parish from the next drop-down list.
If your donation is part of the Planned Giving Scheme, please include your envelope number in the Payment Notes area .
If you have any questions, please contact the parish office.
