My dear sisters and brothers in Christ
Easter gives us the meaning, strength and power to transform the world in which we live. Easter is God’s victory of love. The victory of Christ over evil and darkness emboldens us. The Risen Christ has liberated us and made lasting peace and joy possible for our chaotic and troubled world. We should rejoice in our freedom and remain confident in God’s love for us.
The joy of Easter springs from our deep gratitude to God for his gentle and compassionate presence in our lives. The seasons of Lent and Easter provide an opportunity to reflect on and give thanks for God’s incredible generosity to us, for the gift of His only son Jesus Christ, and for all the blessings that He has bestowed upon us.
We are blessed so that we may be a blessing to others. If you can, please consider an Easter Offertory gift for the evangelical work of your parish in gratitude for God’s gift of salvation and all His blessings.
Our parishes rely on our faith community’s generosity to sustain our liturgical, sacramental, pastoral care and charitable works - and we are ever grateful for your faithful support.
Any gift, whatever you can give, will nurture our parishes’ spiritual vitality and Christian pastoral care that brings love, hope and joy to our community.
Knowing we have the commitment of faithful supporters helps us to more widely share Jesus Christ’s message of love and salvation.
If you can consider a gift of sustained support through planned giving, the best way is through safe, easy, automatic monthly online donations.
To support your parish with a one-off or recurring gift, please give via the form below, or contact your parish direct.
Every gift bears witness to God’s love for us and deepens our own sense of gratitude for the grace that He has poured out into each of our hearts and lives.
Support your parish to share Christ’s message of love and salvation with all

Thank you for your kind-hearted generosity and support. With your prayers and generous giving, our parishes can be beacons of light, love and hope to all. May our Lord’s light and love shine upon you and your loved ones.
