Financial Giving

Here at St. Mary’s, we offer members and visitors different ways to give.

For members, we run a stewardship scheme each year where we invite you to pledge how much you will give to St Mary’s over the coming year. This helps us to plan our finances and invites you to think about what you are giving and why.

Regular givers can give by:

• Pre-authorized debit (either weekly or monthly) - forms are available from the Office.

• Recurring credit card donation - click on the donate button at the top of our website or follow this link and choose ‘recurring’ from the drop-down menu.

• E-transfer to office@stmaryskerrisdale.ca

 Visitors and regular members can give by the collection plate on a Sunday morning - simply fill in a giving envelope and add your cheque or cash.

Tax receipts are issued annually in January/February to all donors who have made donations totalling $20 or more in the previous tax year. In order to be receiptable, a donation must be freely given to the church as a gift and may not be in payment for goods or services. (i.e., we cannot issue tax receipts for buying a book, renting a room, or paying for a wedding organist/funeral bulletins, etc.)

We are happy to answer questions about tax receipts ahead of any potential donations – please reach out to the Office at your convenience.
