A Call to Give
A Challenge to Stewardship
Each Sunday, around 1,100 people come together in our parish to worship, pray, and receive the Eucharist. But our parish is more than just Sunday Mass—it is alive every day of the week. From sacramental preparation to pastoral care, youth ministry to formation programs, our parish is a place of faith, growth, and service. Monday to Saturday, our pastoral centres, office, and meeting spaces are filled with ministries that teach, support, and care for our community. None of this would be possible without the financial support of our parishioners.
First and foremost, we want to express our deepest gratitude to those who give generously to sustain the mission of our parish. Your financial support enables us to celebrate the sacraments, serve those in need, maintain our facilities, and grow as a faith community. Thank you for your commitment to ensuring our parish remains a place of worship, welcome, and service for all.
Every gift to Christ the Redeemer Parish helps us celebrate the sacraments, run vital ministries, care for those in need, and maintain our parish facilities. Your generosity ensures that our parish remains a place of worship, formation, and community for generations to come.
By contributing to our Planned Giving Programme, you are supporting not only our parish but also the wider Church, as one-third of all planned giving contributions go directly to the Diocesan Clergy Trust Fund, helping to sustain our priests across the Diocese. Below are ways in which you can give.
Together, we can ensure that our parish remains a place where faith is nurtured, service is lived, and Christ is at the centre of all we do.

“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
