Why Give?

God has blessed each of us with gifts—our time, our talents, and our resources. As disciples, we return those gifts with gratitude: to sustain parish life, serve people in need, and strengthen the Church’s mission across Southwestern Ontario.

Rooted in the Diocese of London pastoral plan, Embracing a Future Full of Hope, giving is more than a transaction—it’s a concrete expression of faith.

GIVING THROUGH YOUR PARISH

Many parishes offer pre-authorized giving, allowing you to set up scheduled automatic contributions. This ensures steady support for your parish’s mission while reducing the need for cash or weekly envelopes.

Pre-Authorized Contributions (PAR)

Many parishes offer pre-authorized giving so you can support offertory and parish life through scheduled contributions—without needing cash or envelopes.

Benefits of pre-authorized giving:

• provides stable support for your parish’s mission

• flexible scheduling (monthly or custom intervals)

• reduces administrative burden, maximizing your impact

DONATE SECURITIES (GIFTS OF SHARES)

A tax-efficient way to support the mission of the Church

Donating publicly traded securities (stocks, bonds, mutual funds) is one of the most effective ways to give.

When securities are donated directly, donors may:

• avoid capital gains tax on appreciated securities

• receive an official donation receipt for the full fair market value

Securities gifts can support diocesan ministries, appeals, or designated funds—and can be made in honour of a loved one.

We are pleased to work with you and your financial advisor to ensure your gift reflects your intentions.

Leave a Lasting Legacy

LLegacy giving is a meaningful way to support the future of the Church. A planned gift—such as a gift in your Will, a beneficiary designation (RRSP/RRIF/TFSA), a gift of securities, or life insurance—ensures your faith continues to shape the ministries that matter to you.
