Your support is as important as ever
As we continue to support each other during this pandemic, your financial support is as important as ever. There are many ways to continue your offerings. There is a link to Canada Helps at the end of your Sunday service that makes it as easy as leaving your envelope on the plate. Cheques can be sent by regular Canada Post or call the cathedral office and we would be pleased to help you with how to use credit cards or e-transfer. If you have not already signed up for pre-authorized giving, we can help you with that as well. The work of the Cathedral and the needs of our ministries continue and we look forward to hearing from you. |
