Support Through Your Parish

WE are the parish.  All of us, including you, and we can only thrive and grow if we support each other.  'How can I support the parish?' you ask.  There are a number of ways, the most obvious of which is financially.  But if you are not in a position to give us your financial support you may be able to help in other ways.  We have numerous ministries in the parish all of which can use some extra hands to lighten the load.  Whichever way you choose to support the parish your contribution is valued equally.   As we journey through this crisis, keeping in touch with your neighbours, parishioners, just about anyone in your contact list.  If they need help, if you need help, contact us.
 The success of our parish depends on the number of people actively involved.  Will you help?

Financial Support

Volunteer Support
If you want to contribute financially to the running of the parish we make this possible in a number of ways. 
If you can afford to make a regular contribution the best way to do this is to join the planned giving program.  This enables the parish to have a steady source of income from which we can pay our bills and plan on how we can best service our community.  Start here by filling in a pledge card or contact the parish office for more details.

For those people where a regular weekly or monthly commitment is not possible but also don't want to put cash on the plate at mass we have a 'donate' button where you can make adhoc donations.  This allows you to contribute when you can and however much you can afford. Click and donate now.

Are you thinking of the kind of gift that keeps on giving even after you have stopped?  By leaving us a gift in your will or contributing to our endowment fund your gift ensures that we have money into the future to continue the parish you helped us build.  Have a look at our Bequests page for more details.

Honey, honey!
Order your 1kg jar of honey sourced direct from a local beekeeper.  This helps support local business and part of the proceeds help support the parish as well.  Download a honey order form and send it to the parish office with your payment and we will deliver the honey to your preferred location for pickup as soon as possible.
If you want to contribute your time and talents we would be very grateful.  As this crisis affects every single one of us, or someone we know.  If you haven't got something, someone we know might have something.  If you can help someone who can't, we need you.  Please let us know.
