Generosity
Support the church
“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” — 2 Corinthians 9:7
Parish donations
Give by internet banking
A third comes back to you
The parish is a registered donee organisation: New Zealand tax residents can claim a donation tax credit of one third of all donations. We issue tax receipts at the end of each financial year — make sure your reference includes your surname.
Questions about donations or receipts? Write to Fr Vladimir at frvlad@xtra.co.nz.
Please use DONATION and your surname as the payment reference so we can issue your receipt.

Not only money
Candles & flowers
Offerings for candles, prosphora and flowers for the feasts are gratefully received at the candle desk.
Your time & skills
The sisterhood, brotherhood, choir and school all run on volunteered hands. Speak to Fr Vladimir about where help is needed.
Remember the church
Consider remembering the parish in your will — a lasting gift to the generations who will pray here after us.
We are grateful for your generosity, and pray that the Lord reward you a hundredfold.
