MARYGROVE CAMP SPECIAL COLLECTION


Next Weekend!

The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, Toronto Central Council, helps over 1,600 children each summer attend overnight camp, registering eligible campers through home visits. Each camper’s holiday is fully subsidized through the generous  support of Parishioners. Envelopes for the special collection next weekend, can be found at the back of the church.  If you know of a child of a child who may benefit from this experience, please contact the Central Office at 416-364-5577 or email campinfo@ssvptoronto.ca for further information.

It is accredited by the Ontario Camps Association.

With the awareness that we participate in a communion that precedes and includes us, we can rediscover a symphonic Church, in which each person is able to sing with his or her own voice, welcoming the voices of others as a gift to manifest the harmony of the whole that the Holy Spirit composes."

LET'S SHOW WE CARE ON SHARELIFE SUNDAY

ShareLife Logo

This weekend is the final ShareLife Sunday of the year. But ShareLife is more than a collection. It’s how we as a community say “we care.” In solidarity with Catholics throughout the Archdiocese, we provide a witness of God's love by actively supporting those in need locally and the greater world.

Thus far our parish has received $42,950 towards our goal of $49,000. Thank you to all who have contributed!  If you have yet to contribute to our parish campaign,  please consider making a sacrificial gift at the parish or through sharelife.org.

Thank you for showing you care!

Dear parishioners,

I hope and pray that you are staying healthy – both physically and spiritually. Please let me know if the parish can help you during these difficult times.

No doubt you are aware that our parish relies on the support of our parishioners to operate – parish salaries, programs and ongoing operating costs (heating, water, electricity, etc.) – are funded through the generosity of our parish community. It will be a challenge for our parish to maintain operations without the weekly offertory collection.

In response to many queries that I have received from parishioners, I offer below some of the ways that you may continue to support our parish if you are in a position to do so.  I recognise that many of you, like the parish, are experiencing financial strain at this time and I pray that those stresses are soon eased for you.

For those in a position to continue to give to our parish, the easiest on-line options would be through the Archdiocese Donate Now link. Through this link you can give to the parish by credit card.  These donations are handled by the Archdiocese.  The donation is directed to the parish of your choice. The parish receives a monthly report of all donations made to the parish via this method and tax receipts are issued to donors at year end by the Archdiocese (one-time gifts are receipted at time of giving).

Pre-Authorised giving is also an option.  A set donation figure of your choosing is withdrawn from your bank account on the 20th of each month.   We have a number of parishioners who give by this method. Please contact the office if you wish to set this up.

Weekly envelopes may still be used -  mailed to the parish or dropped off.

Thank you for your many contributions to our parish community. I miss seeing all of you at the Mass and I pray daily that we will be able to gather together again soon.

Yours in Christ,

Father Joseph
Pastor,  St. Cecilia
