Christmas Dinners

We are still accepting donations to help with Christmas Dinners. All monies received will be passed on to the Christmas Exchange, and you will be credited for income tax purposes by us. The Exchange will distribute these funds to the organizations that can physically meet with applicants in our area who need help.

Please place donations in an envelope marked Christmas Dinners, and make any cheques payable to Holy Redeemer.

You may also e-Transfer your donation. Use stpiusx@nb.aibn.com as the email address. Please note in the message area that your donation is for Christmas Baskets.

If you prefer to donate using your credit card (Visa, Visa Debit, Mastercard, AMEX) or PayPal account, you can use the secure CanadaHelps form on our website to make your donation.

Thank you for your help.

Bulletins

We have brought back a limited number of paper bulletins in the church. As in the past, they will be available at all entrances. We encourage everyone who reads the bulletin online to continue to do so, and leave paper copies for those without internet access.
