Counters Corner—We are very delighted to

receive your donations. But, we want to see that you get

the most from your contributions. Any cumulative annual

donation under $10 does not receive a tax receipt unless

you are using a registered envelope or have automatic

withdrawal. If you are using a visitor envelope, please

ensure that your name and address are clearly marked on

the envelope in order to receive a tax receipt at the end of

the year. Registered parishioners, if you forget your en-

velope and use a guest envelope, please be sure to write

your name, address, and envelope number on the guest

envelope. Registered parishioners can also sign up for

automatic withdrawal which does away with envelopes

all together! Parishioners also have the option to sign up

with Canada Helps and designate the parish as your do-

nation recipient. See the Welcome Desk for more infor-

mation or contact the Parish Office.
