Sharing God’s Gifts is an annual appeal in support of our Archdiocesan pastoral services. It is the realization that together we can accomplish much more than is possible as individual parishes. Catholics live out their faith’s spirit in support of our youth, catechism, missions, and institutions. We are working to ensure that the sacrifices of past generations are built upon for the benefit of the future. Sharing God’s Gifts a tangible commitment of our support for the Church’s proud tradition of social justice and concern for the vulnerable.

After depleting our savings and taking out a loan for the new roof, we are planning for the future and will continue to save specifically for the next building project.

Our boiler is on it’s last leg and will need to be replaced in the very near future.

Envelopes labelled Building Fund are located at either entrance of the church.

Non-perishable food items and clothing will be collected throughout Advent and donated to the Missionaries of Charity.

OLV Parish and School participate annually in the 40 Tins for Lent collection. All food/clothes will be donated to the Missionaries of Charity for their soup kitchen and giveaway to those in need. Please bring donations to the Church each week. Bins are at both entrances.

Although Lent may be over (or hasn’t started yet), we will leave the bins at the back for any one who wishes to continue to donate.

Envelopes are at the back of the church. Make sure to indicate what it is for and your envelope number. If you do not know, write you name and address on it so we can look you up. Not a Parishioner? Sign up here.

You may also make a donation through the Archdiocese Website (include what parish your are from), App (Apple/Android).

Everyone can participate no matter how big or small the donation.
