Parish Finance Council
The Parish Finance Council exists to enable the Parish Priest and the people of Our Lady, Queen of Apostles, Stafford to work together responsibly in the mission of our Church. The Council’s principal responsibility is to provide advice and assistance to our Parish Priest on financial and administrative matters. The Council is made up of members comprised of parishioners and others decided by the Parish Priest. Other persons such as the Parish School Principal also attend meetings of the Council. The Parish Priest invites members to be part of this Council. Contact: Parish Office Ph: 3356 7155

DONATIONS TO OUR PARISH
Here’s an easy way to donate to your parish even if you can’t be here every week (COVID, work, “grey nomading”, or other reasons), you don’t have “envelopes” and don’t carry cash. (We are TOTALLY self-funding - sadly, like your own family budget, there's no "money tree" that we can rely on.) TO REGISTER: Dive right in by scanning this QR code, (or you may like to use this link instead: https://parishgiving.brisbanecatholic.org.au ).If you need help, refer to Denis’ email for a link to instructions, or contact him directly. (NOTE - Don’t confuse this QR code with the ‘Check in Qld” App) Once you have registered, 1) Using the new App on your phone, 2) scanning the QR code (or 3) using the link- https://parishgiving.brisbanecatholic.org.au ) will lead you to a SECURE site where you can make a one-off do-nation or a recurring donation. (Copies of the QR code and the link will also be at church so that you can donate there as well/instead.) |
