Planned Giving – Supporting Our Parish
Our Planned Giving Program has long been an important part of our parish life. Your donations are both a sign of gratitude for the role the parish has played in your life and a gift that enriches the lives of others in our community. They also ensure that the foundations of faith and service we enjoy today will remain strong for future generations.
We invite you to prayerfully consider your own circumstances and make a pledge to the Planned Giving Program. Every contribution—large or small—helps us continue our mission, strengthen our community, and remain present for those who will come after us.
The Planned Giving Program allows parishioners to support the parish through regular contributions, either via:
- The traditional envelope system (envelopes are distributed at the beginning of the program year and arranged alphabetically at the back of the church—note, your envelope number may change from year to year).
- Automatic monthly credit or debit card donations.
Registration forms are available by contacting the parish office or through the links below. Completed forms may be returned via email, by post, or directly to the Parish Office.
In addition, some parishioners choose to make a one-off donation or a bequest—a wonderful way of making a lasting contribution to our parish. Please contact the Parish Office if you would like to explore this option.
As our parish buildings age, we also face growing needs for repairs, maintenance, and capital works, alongside our everyday expenses. Planned Giving helps us fund:
- Administration and staffing costs (wages, utilities, and office expenses).
- Pastoral ministries (Sacramental programs, catechists in State Schools, Youth Ministry, RCIA).
- Maintenance at both parish locations Avalon & Mona Vale (painting, repairs to furniture, waterproofing, general upkeep).
- Major capital projects as our facilities and equipment reach the end of their life.
To ensure the continued financial health of our parish, we rely on the effective support of the Planned Giving Program and, where possible, an increase in average weekly contributions.
Thank you for your generosity, your prayerful support, and the commitment you make to ensuring our parish continues to flourish.
