Supporting the Parish

“Christ’s faithful have the obligation to provide for the needs of the Church, so that the Church has available to it those things which are necessary for divine worship, for works of the apostolate and of charity, and for the worthy support of its ministers.”

Canon 222, The Code of Canon Law, 1983.

Thank you to our generous parishioners who financially contribute regularly, our parish is able to offer programmes and services, alongside using those finances in the upkeep of the day to day running of the parish.

We ask that you consider being part of our Planned Giving Programme. Below, you’ll find ways in which you can become a regular giver to the parish.

Any questions - please contact Wilma on finance@christchurchnorth.org.nz and she will be able to help you.

“Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”

2 Corinthians 9:6-8
