Our Mission
Jesus said “Go make disciples … I am with you always.”
Our Vision
Strengthened by the Eucharist, we are moved to bring healing to a wounded world.
There have been many people who have continued to donate through this time of the pandemic. We are so very grateful for the amazing support. People have been dropping envelopes off at the priest's residence (please put the envelope through the mail slot in the main door and not in the mailbox.) Although donations are significantly down, we have been able to adjust our expenses. In order to continue opening our various churches for worship, we rely on the generosity of all our parishioners. We are also grateful for those who, although not official members of the parish, have donated because of the live stream presence on the internet. To all who have been so generous and intentional in your giving to the family of parishes ... THANK YOU!
Giving our offerings reflects a grateful heart that wants to give back to God a portion of what He has given us; in reality, what is already His. This is our opportunity to show God that He is first in our lives. Giving is a reminder that God is the supplier of everything we have. It is also God’s personal invitation to an outpouring of His blessings in your life.
At Elgin Roman Catholic Family of Parishes, we are focused on one goal: changing lives… one person at a time. The simple fact, however, is that the Church cannot do this without financial resources. God has directed that each church is to be funded by the offerings of those who are a part of that Parish. Simply put: Our giving makes an eternal difference.
1. Automated Through Your Bank
You can set up an automatic, repeating payment through your bank. It’s the best way to give for several reasons:
Please contact the office for help to get you set up.
2. Electronic Giving Through Pllenty
Giving online is another great way to give. You can use your debit or credit card to make either a one-time payment or set up a recurring payment. To use this method, select the link associated with the Parish you would like to give to (below).

4. Weekly Envelopes
You can give each week by using Offertory Envelopes. These are available from the office. Just place your envelope including a cheque or cash in the weekly offertory basket prior to Mass at the welcome desk. More information is here.
5. Mail in a donation
No matter which church you would like to donate to, please mail c/o St. Anne's Church, 20 Morrison Drive, St. Thomas, ONT N5R 4S6. The cheque can be made payable to the church of your choice.
If you are giving a donation that can be distributed among the ERCFP then write the cheque out to St. Anne's and put in the notation (for the ERCFP). We do not have a bank account called "Elgin Roman Catholic Family of Parishes" or ERCFP so if it is filled out in that way, we will not be able to cash it.
