Due to COVID 19 restrictions the parish moved to a one collection at each Mass to reduce movement of parishioners.  The sole collection includes envelopes, and loose notes and coins.  The collection will be split between the parish and the central presbytery fund on a 70:30 split.  That is, 70% is retained by the parish to meet operational expenses.

The parish sincerely thanks all parishioners who contribute to this collection in loose notes and coins and, those parishioners who contribute through the Planned Giving Program envelopes.

Parishioners who contribute through an envelope are requested to consider moving to a direct debit arrangement.  A direct debt contribution would not only assist in ensuring a regular cash flow but would also reduce the need to handle large volumes of cash.  An alternative to a direct debit arrangement is the use of the credit card authority on a monthly basis.  Forms are available under the APPLICATION FORMS tab at the top of this page.

Direct deposits can be made to Our Lady of Perpetual Help BSB 062 786 A/c No 00029453 with Reference your envelope number and surname.

If you have any questions or wish to discuss your contribution, please contact Ted Smith on 6241 3364 or 0411 106 295.

There are no longer two collections at Masses.  Should you wish to make a contribution to the Central Presbytery fund to support the priests of Archdiocese you can do this by making a bank transfer to the Central Presbytery Fund, BSB 062 786, Ac No 000 029 248 with Reference:  your parish locality and your family name  (eg BelNorth Smith).  It's important to include the reference so that funds can be allocated correctly.  Alternatively, you can arrange for funds to be debited regularly from your bank account.  Download the form from the APPLICATION FORMS tab at the top of this page.

The Institute of Professional Standards and Safeguarding has requested that all parish volunteers be familiar with the guidelines for child protection in our archdiocese.  The Child Protection - Code of Conduct document and the Acknowledgement form have  been uploaded to the Policies section of this website.  All parish volunteers should read the document and sign the Code of Conduct Acknowledgement form. Please scan the signed form and send it via email to the parish office or place the signed form in the locked church letter box. 

If you have any concerns or questions about this matter, please email the parish office.  Thank you for your cooperation with this request from the IPSS.
