Stewardship and Giving

Your giving supports the continuing work of our two parishes and helps cover parish operating costs. Thank you for your generosity, which makes these activities possible and allows our community to continue to grow.

Online Giving

Make a secure online donation to support our parish through a once off gift or regular monthly giving. You can choose to contribute to the Presbytery (which supports our parish priest and the care of retired clergy) or the Thanksgiving (which supports the parish’s mission and covers essential running costs such as utilities, maintenance, and day-to-day operations.). Be sure to tick the ‘Donate Monthly’ option when signing up.

Giving Through Service

You can also support the parish with your time, skills, and presence. You might consider volunteering in one of our ministries: visiting the elderly and homebound, assisting in the liturgy at Mass, such as a reader or special minister of the Eucharist, or helping at the Toorak Ecumenical Op Shop. These acts of service strengthen our parish life and bring Christ’s love into our community.
