2024 ENVELOPES
Please note that your 2024 envelope number may have changed. Do not use your 2023 envelopes as you may not get credit for your donation if you don’t use the correct envelope number assigned to you! Please write your name and address on your envelopes for the first few weeks of 2024 so that we can make sure we are crediting the correct person for the donation.
Even if you do not have an envelope number, as long as you provide your full name (first and last name) and complete address, your donations will be tracked under your name and you will receive a tax receipt.
If you have a 2024 envelope box, please make every effort to use your printed 2024 envelopes as we are having difficulties obtaining the blank offertory envelopes.
If you want a 2024 envelope box, please contact the Parish office and we will give you one.

It is not too late to pay your 2024 CWL membership of $45.00. You can pay by cash or cheque payable to the Holy Cross CWL. Please put your payment in a sealed envelope in the offertory basket and make sure to include your name and address if you are paying cash.
