Financial Contributions
Contributions to the Parish are always welcome. Most gifts are directed to the Sunday Collection Envelopes, or the Building Fund. Donations are also accepted by Automatic Bank Withdrawal or E-Transfer.
From time to time special collections will be taken in support of specific needs which have been approved by the Parish and/or the Diocese.
The Parish is further pleased to acknowledge the number of parishioners who over the years have chosen to offer a profound gift in the form of a Bequest.
All gifts and donations directed to St Anthony of Padua Cathedral Parish are eligible to receive a receipt for Income Tax purposes, subject to the regulations of Revenue Canada.
Building Fund
Donations to the Building Fund are a thoughtful way of remembering those who have touched our lives while recognizing the ongoing needs of our parish, our parishioners and their extended families. Acknowledgement cards are available at the rectory.
A monthly collection is taken for the Building Fund, however donations to this fund are welcomed at any time. Extensive renovations have recently been carried out to the church. Plans are now being made to carry out further repairs which are urgently needed.
Sunday Offering Envelopes
Parishioners are encouraged to use the Sunday offering envelopes. To register for envelopes, please contact the Parish Office or submit the Registration Form at this website. Monthly, annual or other regular contributions are equally welcome to assist with the regular needs of the Parish.
