Dear Parishioners,
During this time, when visits to our Church are suspended, we are striving to ensure that our parishioners remain connected through new and creative pastoral programmes. While we continue to help those in our community, the parish continues to incur ongoing overhead costs and we need your help.
The good news is that Catholic Development Fund (CDF) and the Archdiocese of Melbourne and the Diocese of Melbourne, Ballarat, Sandhurst and Sale have partnered to build an online parish payment portal, CDFpay for Parishes – St. Joseph’s and St. Mark’s.
This site enables you to make quick and easy online thanksgiving payments – you can set-up a recurring payment, if you haven’t done so already, or you can choose a one-off offering.
The options below for parishioners of St. Joseph’s and St. Mark’s for Thanksgiving Payments will guide you through the process.
For those with no access to online banking facilities, I suggest that you keep the money aside and make the contribution when Covid-19 isolation rules have been relaxed.
We thank you in advance for supporting our parish community.
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Joseph Truong Nguyen, O.F.M. Conv
Parish Priest
St. Joseph’s Church, Springvale and St. Mark’s Church, Dingley Village
