Good News!

Fellow Holy Cross Parishioners,

We have received a letter from the diocesan Financial Administrator bearing good news in response to our proposal and request for approval to replace the  elevator/lift.

His Grace, Archbishop Albert LeGatt, has authorized Holy Cross to proceed with the project, estimated to cost $124,000. The contract is to be awarded to Summit Elevators as proposed.

The Archbishop also authorizes Holy Cross to raise funds for this project, to a maximum of $121,000, diocesan tax exempt, until November 30, 2024.

We are now able to receive donations towards this project – noting the tax exempt ‘window’ of time. Please be sure to include the words ‘elevator project’ on the memo line of cheques, on e-Transfers and/or donation envelopes containing cash.

We are wished all the best with the new elevator that will be a welcome addition to reach the food bank and other Parish functions in the church basement.

Please note that donations to unauthorized projects remain subject to the diocesan levy.

Finance Council Chair
