Donate

It is your continued contributions that enable us to have a Parish. Your generosity provides for the administration of the Parish, for support of ministries exercised for the Parish and for the maintenance of the parish buildings and grounds.

​

You are invited to join our Planned Giving Programs either through monthly credit card giving (preferred option) or by the Electronic Transfer of Funds (EFT) from your bank account (which you can personally arrange) e.g. weekly, fortnightly or monthly. If you prefer this EFT option, please contact the Parish office to obtain our bank details.

​

Our Parish team is available to assist you with any option you choose as we aim to provide you with the best option which suits your circumstances. We thank you in advance for your generosity and ongoing support.

Parish Giving

1

The Clergy Fund
(First Collection)

The Clergy Fund, as well as Stole fees from Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals, support the Priests and Bishops of our Diocese.

​

After covering the household expenses of the clergy in our Parish, the balance of the Collection is passed over to a pooled fund that provides Stipends for all active Priests, supports our retired clergy and pays medical costs.

​

A portion of the collection (15%) is allocated to a fund to support the Bishop (and retired Bishops) and his office.

2

Parish Fund
(Second Collection)

The Our Parish Fund (envelopes and cash) and Planned Giving (direct debit and credit cards) are for the works of the Parish.

​

These funds support all of our parish ministries, meet the administration costs including electricity and insurance and maintenance of the parish buildings. Pledging a regular donation, no matter how small gives us a reliable source of income to meet our own financial commitments and work towards further enhancing our parish ministries.
