FUNDSCRIP

FundScrip is a new promotion that our CWL is undertaking this winter. FundScrip is a fundraising program that lets our CWL raise much needed funds simply by purchasing gift cards to the stores you are already shopping at. When you purchase a gift card, a percentage of your purchase will be donated to our fundraising campaign, enabling us to continue our service to the parish and community. We encourage you to invite your family members, friends, co-workers and neighbours to participate in FundScrip as well.

To order gift cards, print off the order form below, indicate the number of each card you would like to purchase, and submit it to Donna Guiney at Blessed Sacrament Parish along with your payment. The deadline for handing in orders is December 4th. Gift cards should arrive around December 15th.

COVID CLEANING

Frequently touched areas in the church are disinfected after each Mass by a team of volunteers. The process takes about 10 minutes. If you would like to add your name to the volunteer list, contact the office at: 613-389-2009.
