Share-Year-Round: Join to Double your Impact
We are deeply grateful for all Share lent donations, but monthly donations make the biggest difference. Become a Share Year-Round donor, your contribution becomes sustained and predictable and allows us to have lower administrative costs. That means more money can be more reliably invested in our partners. Between now and Pentecost, June 5, 2022, new donors and current donors who increase their donation amounts will have their donation matched through a fund supported by religious faith communities. Your $20 monthly donation will become $40.
Thanks to a group of generous supporters of this matching fund, there’s no better time to become a monthly donor! Visit devp.org/shareyearround to join the Share Year-Round program. Download our annual report to read how your donations make impact.
The Parish survey will be available till the end of day May 29th, 2022.
CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
St. Andre Bessette Parish was formed in 2020 by the amalgamation of the parishes of Holy Cross, St. Bernard and St. Rose of Lima. The current pandemic unfolded shortly after our new parish was created which limited the communication plans to enrich and unite our new parish community.
The parish is now moving forward with a renewed focus on communications and has formed a Communications Ministry to develop and implement communication strategies. The first step is to identify and put into action the best avenues to help us communicate more clearly. This includes making sure we are using the tools we have in the most productive way possible to reach all parishioners, as well as to further our goals as a welcoming and vibrant parish.
It will take time to get the right mix of communications in place, but to be successful and reach our goals, we are in of need additional volunteers to join this ministry. You do not have to be a professional communicator. If YOU have experience or an interest in writing, research, web design and/or using social media, we would love to have you join the Communications Ministry. If you are interested, please email: Donnachislett@eastlink.ca
Thank you.
