Parish Giving

St. Matthew's Building Fund


Ways to Give

Looking for an easy way to financially support our parish? We have several options to help make your Sunday giving easy. 

Online giving is the easiest and most hassle-free option when it comes to your parish giving. You can safely store your payment information in your parishioner account and edit whenever you need. Update your credit card information, set up one-time gifts, or even recurring gifts. No need to remember envelopes every week!

Set-up recurring gifts directly from your bank account. Contact the parish office to fill out the required paperwork.

Write and sign a cheque payable to St. Matthew’s Parish. Please address the envelope to our parish address or drop it off at the parish office.

Receive your giving envelopes from our parish by contacting us. We will send you weekly donation envelopes with additional collection envelopes.

Sunday Envelope and Online Donation Reminders


Sunday Envelopes

  1. If you missed Sunday mass/es, please put all consolidated donations in one envelope. Do not separate them into different envelopes as recordings can no longer be backdated (nor post-dated).
  2. Do not use envelopes from the past years, the number assigned per family changes every year. Either use pink envelope and write your full name on it, or request for a new one from the Parish Office if nothing has been assigned to you yet.
  3. Do not use Sunday envelopes for other purposes (i.e., mass offering, payment for Church fees, etc.), it will cause confusion for our Sunday counter volunteers.
  4. If you do not use your Sunday envelope at least 10 times within the year, the system will not automatically assign a new one for the following year. However, you may always request for one at the Parish Office.

Online Donations

  1. Please use the full name officially registered with the Parish Office, not names different from what was registered. Do not use your child’s name as well especially if they are minors. It causes confusion in recording online donations.
  2. Monitor your bank statement regularly to make sure that your online donations are processed accordingly.
  3. Update your online profile in St. Matthew’s website for any changes with your bank information (i.e., expiry date, etc.) to avoid failed transactions.
  4. You may still get a Sunday envelope even if you are set up for online donation. Online donation does not give an option for Second or Special Collections (other than Building Fund).
  5. If you are attending mass regularly every Sunday and your online donation is set up to be processed monthly, your mass attendance/donation record would only reflect once per month. If you wish for your weekly mass attendance to be recorded, please use your Sunday envelope, and drop it empty every time you attend Sunday mass.


Having mass attendance/donation record makes it easier for our priests to fulfill parishioners’ requests (i.e., letter of certification, subsidy to elementary or high school, sponsorship for baptism/confirmation, etc.), as it signifies the individual/family practicing the Catholic faith at least by regularly attending Sunday mass. Drop your envelope with or without monetary donation every time you attend mass, it gets recorded either way. And if you are attending mass in another parish, you may also drop your St. Matthew’s envelope and that will be sent to our Parish Office for recording as well.
