Parish Giving Program 2025-2026

Image
Subscriber envelopes for 2025-2026 are available in the church foyer. Thank you to those who subscribe generously, especially in these challenging times. New subscribers are welcome. Existing subscribers might increase their pledge if able. Enve-lope giving provides stable revenue that assists parish budgeting. It expresses our shared responsibility to support the temporal needs of the Parish. No one should give beyond their means. Everyone should give justly. Are a few random coins reasonable? If everyone increased their weekly commitment by the cost of a coffee, the effect would be significant. Envelope donations attract a 30% tax deduction. Credit card contributions are encouraged. Nomination forms are available via the Website (https://www.cpasl.org.au) or from the racks near the side exit doors. Subscribers can post completed forms through the Parish Office door or place them on one of the collections.

4 young people will be signed with the cross and anointed with the Oil of Catechumens during 5pm Vigil Mass next Saturday, 5 July, in preparation for their baptism during 11am Mass next Sunday, 6 July. They will join 18 colleagues at the same Mass to receive the Sacraments of Confir-mation and Eucharist. It will be the culmination of a 10 week preparation program, led by Pina Bernard, Parish Sacramental Coordinator. It is a powerful manifestation of the movement of the Holy Spirit in All Saints and another fruit of our Mission to share the love of Christ. Please keep all involved in your prayers.

It resonates with the late Pope Francis’ Encycli-cal, Laudato Si’ (25.05.2015; a. 172). It will deliver signifi-cant energy savings for the Parish.
