A reminder from Art:

Any parishioners wishing to begin donating via Pre Authorized Remittance (PAR), please inform Financial Secretary Art Halsall and he will see that you receive the necessary paperwork and instructions.

Any parishioners who already use the PAR system but would like to change their level of giving, let Art know and he can make that change.

Start-ups or changes which are sent in the next week would mean the remittance would begin in February.
