We buy them in bulk and get a 6% discount on most of the cards for Food Basics/Loblaws, etc, Lamatia’s, Canadian Tire, Tim Hortons, Home Hardware, Boston Pizza, M&M……….

You buy them and use them just like a regular gift card AND AUTOMATICALLY OUR PARISH MAKES 6% FROM EVERY PURCHASE.

In a way it’s like tithing but you never miss it since the companies (who are happy to do it) contribute to the Restoration Fund.

This keeps supporting our local businesses, too.

If it doesn’t seem like much then keep an eye on the total at the bottom of this paragraph.

It adds up and it will add up even faster if you take part.

Have you started using the cards yet? If not, why not talk to the parish representatives at the sales table and see if they can explain it even more clearly and help you get started.

Brick by brick and row by row, card by card, we build up the fabric of the church.

Here is an easy and consistent way to support the Restoration Campaign for our historic Church. Purchase your Support Cards for various amounts from the rectory office or at St. Mary’s Church.

Each week at the church will be a table to sell the Support Cards. These Support Cards can be used at local businesses such as Value-Mart, Loblaws, National Groceries, LaMantia, Food Basic, Canadian Tire, Tim Hortons, Home Hardware, M&M Meats, Boston Pizza. Six percent of all the money you spend at these participating stores while using the Support Cards comes back to St. Mary’s Parish for the Restoration fund. That’s it! Everybody has to buy groceries and other house things, or gas so this is an easy way to give a very needed boost to our ongoing restoration campaign. You get the cards; use them like cash at your favourite stores and the percentage works for the Church.

Support Cards sold to-date total $37,367.00. We have received around $1,868.00 profit which continues to increase your contribution towards the restoration fund. So please keep buying your support cards while they continue to be sold at the church rear door after each Mass.
