Pre-Authorized Giving

What is the P.A.G. Plan?
The Archdiocese of Toronto has established a Pre-Authorized Giving Plan (P.A.G.) to assist you in your support of the work of the parish through your regular parish offerings. The work of our parish is made possible through the giving hearts of our parishioners. In response to changing lifestyles and demands on time and energy, the Archdiocese of Toronto seeks, through the Pre-Authorized Giving Plan to assist you in your giving.

Who looks after the Plan?

The Office of Development of the Archdiocese of Toronto administers the Pre-Authorized Giving Plan for the parish. Please note that our parish office will issue tax receipts for all offertory gifts.

Why should I Participate?

Advantages for the donor:

• Convenience. Your offering is received automatically every month.
• Continual support of your parish when you are away.

Advantages for the Parish:

• Allows the parish to plan better through regular and dependable flow of contributions.
• Reduction of paperwork and bookkeeping.

How do I enroll?

This is how you make your gift through the Pre-Authorized Giving Plan:

• Decide the amount of your gift to the parish to be withdrawn from your account each month.
• Fill out the form and attach a cheque from your account marked “void” or the equivalent form from your bank branch.
• Email the completed form along with a scan or photo of a void cheque to development@archtoronto.org OR
• Mail the form and a void cheque to the Development Office, Archdiocese of Toronto, 1155 Yonge St., Toronto, ON M4T 1W2

Why P.A.G.?

We are implementing this Pre-Authorization Giving Plan at the request of several Parishioners who have used it elsewhere in the past and found it meets their needs and lifestyle. This plan is
not for everyone, but we are making it available to those who would want to use it.

We respect that giving is a very personal decision, but hope that the convenience and efficiency it brings might also encourage some parishioners to consider availing of this option. Those who
opt for this program can still use their offertory envelopes and indicate “PAG” on the weekly envelopes.

We look forward to your participation. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Parish Office.

Cancellation of the P.A.G. Agreement

You may stop P.A.G. at any time by simply writing a letter with 30 days’ notice to your parish. If a withdrawal is not consistent with this P.A.G. agreement, you have the right to receive
reimbursement. For more information on all your recourse rights, please visit www.cdnpay.ca or contact your financial institution directly.

NOTE: If your bank reports an “NSF” in any month there will be a charge of $5.00 to the Parish for each “NSF”. We regret that we will have to contact you to advise you of this event.
