Thank you for your generous support of our parishes during our closure and now during COVIDrestrictions. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful parishioners!
The Diocese has asked that we publish a list of dates for annual and special collections. In the past our parish has been able to include pamphlets and envelopes in our bulletin but we cannot do so at this time.
If you wish to donate to any of the following you can include a cheque (made payable to St. Mary’s Church or Sacred Heart Church). Please place the donation in a envelope with your name, address and the name of the special collection you are donating to and place it in the offertory basket or in the mail slot at the respective rectory on the collection date. You can also go online to our website etcfp.dol.ca and donate to any special collection by selecting “Other Donation” from the donation drop down box and typing the name of the special collection in the “Details” box.
Retired Priests’ Pension Fund (collection November 14/15, 2020)
