Every summer the Cathedral adjusts the worship schedule in recognition that many are away at cottages, on vacation, or just wanting to be outdoors with family and friends. The outcome is that Cathedral attendance is lower than most of the rest of the year and that results in a significant drop in donations during the summer months.
Why Does that Matter?
The Cathedral's day-to-day operations do not stop. Lights are still on. Bishopsgate still needs to be looked after. The Cathedral Café is still in full operation. Staff are still being paid. Property improvements and care continue.
Here's the good news!
Donations can now be made through digital platforms, allowing parishioners to support your Cathedral from anywhere. Here are our top three options:
- Pre-Authorized Giving: A monthly or weekly donation transferred directly from your bank account to the Cathedral on the same day each month.
- e-Transfers: If you already use online banking, you have the ability to donate funds from your account directly to the Cathedral.
- PayPal: You have the option of using your debit or credit card to make a donation and you can also set up recurring donations and cancel them as you please.
Note: for more details about the options above, please click on each option above.
We ask that you please give this your prayerful consideration. If you need some help or have concerns or questions, please email Paula Esteves, our Donations Administrator.
