“Whether or not I am there...

... my church has on-going commitments every week that need my offering. My church is important to me, and so is my financial commitment to its work. That is why I use the PAR (Pre-Authorized Remittance) system to fulfill my commitment.”

If you have automatic debits going from your bank account to pay for insurance, cable TV, taxes, fuel, or mortgage, then you understand the PAR principle. It means regular contributions throughout the year.
Many people use the PAR system for their church offering, finding it a convenient way to take care of their regular commitments to the church month by month. You can participate in this program.

Your account will be debited on or about the 20th of the month and the cathedral's account credited with the amount payable from all members who participate.

How to get involved:

• Decide on the amount of your monthly offering.

• Fill in the Authorization Card (click here to download pdf form) and attach a sample cheque from your account marked “Void”.

• Give both to the office manager or place both on the offering plate, or mail the information to the Cathedral Office:
