ONLINE DONATION PLATFORM
As 2022 comes to a close, the diocese would like to thank all those who generously support the parishes and the diocese by making a donation through the online giving platform that is accessible on the diocesan website. Each month, several parishes receive donations made for them. The platform allows you to choose the parish to which the donation is sent while being able to do so on a recurring monthly basis. In 2021, more than 250,000$ was sent to parishes based on the choice of donors.
Thank you and Merry Christmas!
