Donations – Pre-Authorized Giving

Posted On 20th Mar 2020

WHAT IS THE PRE-AUTHORIZED GIVING PLAN

The Archdiocese of Toronto has established a Pre-Authorized Giving Plan to assist you in your support of the work of our parish church through your regular parish offerings and the mission of outreach supported through our own annual appeal, ShareLife

Pre-Authorized Giving creates a win/win situation for you and our parish.

It’s a very simple procedure: When you participate in Pre-Authorized Giving, your offering will be withdrawn from your account on or about the 20th of the month. This amount will then be deposited in the parish’s account.

The work of our parish and ShareLife is made possible through the giving hearts of our parishioners.

In response to changing lifestyles and demands on time and energy, the Archdiocese of Toronto seeks, through Pre-Authorized Giving, to assist you in your giving.

Pre-Authorized Giving may be a good choice for you…

WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE?

Advantages for the Donor:

Convenience. Your offering is received automatically every month.
Continual support of your home church when you are away.
Continual support for ministries, charities and programs funded through ShareLife.

Advantages for the Parish:

HOW DO I ENROLL?

This is how you make your gift through the Pre-Authorized Plan:
