How to Support Our Parish Financially
Pre-Authorized Remittances (PAR)
PAR is invaluable to the parish in these times as these contributions still arrive even if you can’t. For the parish, PAR provides a steadier and more predictable stream of funds. This is extremely helpful for budgeting and planning for larger projects. Contact the Parish office at 902-826-2696 or email engagehap@gmail.com. The PAR form is available to download here.
Canada Helps (Credit Cards can be used here)
You can now make donations to Holy Apostles Parish through Canada Helps. Through this safe and secure site you can support any Canadian charity and centralize all your giving. If you choose to use one, a free account allows you to track all your giving, set giving goals, manage monthly gifts, and more. Choose to receive an instant tax receipt after each donation or a summary receipt at the end of each year for all donations.
For those who have asked about using a credit card, Canada Helps allows you to donate using one. You can make one time or recurring donations.
E-Transfers
E-transfers can be made to holyapostlesparish16@gmail.com. Please include your envelope number or contact info so we can ensure that we credit the right person for the donation!
Many individuals in our Faith Communities struggle to make ends meet and turn to SSVP and the Food Bank for support due to the high cost of living.
A small act of kindness can make a HUGE difference.

On this Feast of the Ascension, we celebrate Christ’s triumphant return to the Father after perfectly accomplishing His mission on earth. But we also can also view this Feast as a celebration of the “launch day” of our commissioning as Christ’s disciples.
Today’s Gospel draws our attention to the clear instructions that Jesus gave His disciples (and to us) just before ascending to the Father: “Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things."
Embracing a stewardship way of life, with its emphasis on the use of time, talent and treasure, helps us to live in such a way that our very lives speak as a witness of the Good News of the Gospel. While we take time to reflect and renew our commitments in these three areas annually as a parish family, it is of great benefit to take some time individually throughout the year to take stock of the commitments we have made — looking at both our strengths and our need for continued growth in each area.
On this Feast of our "launch day," take some time to celebrate your victories as Christ’s disciples and renew your commitment to remain faithful to Him and the unique mission He has entrusted to you!
