How do I give? St John’s has various methods for parishioners to share their treasure.
The most efficient is “Pre Authorized Remittance” (PAR), whereby a parishioner sets up a monthly preauthorized payment and the parish office processes the payment every month. This ensures that St John’s receives your financial support every month, even when you are unable to attend services. You can click on the PAR setup form below, fill it in and submit it to the parish office for processing:

Parishioners can alternately use givings envelopes to share their treasure with their church. Contact the parish office (905-885-2171), and a boxed set will be provided to you. Each set is individually numbered; your givings will be properly tracked so that you will receive a charitable donation receipt at year-end.
There are also other electronic options for providing gifts to the parish. By clicking on the button below, you will be redirected to the Canada Helps Internet site, to key in the payment details:
