Your considered financial gift will make an enormous difference to continuing the work the parish. Pledges can be made through direct debit or an envelope system.

Bequests or Donations

In addition to regular giving to the parish, parishioners when able, can also provide one off gifts in the form of Donations or Bequests to their parish or the diocese in general. A gift in your will, no matter how big or small is one way you can personally advance the work of the diocese or the parish.

Making a gift of any size through your Will can support the future of the Church and the faith of generations to come. A suggested Will wording is below which could be discussed with your Solicitor. If you wished to specify the parish, you would simply replace the Diocese details with the Parish name and ABN:

“I give and bequeath to <Catholic Diocese of Ballarat, ABN 57 869 492 977> (or its legal successor), for its general purposes <or state the purpose> the sum of $___ < or state specific items> and declare that receipt by the <Bishop of Ballarat or Parish Priest> or the Diocesan Business Manager shall be sufficient discharge to my trustee/s.”
