from Fr Satheesh

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I pray this letter finds you in good health and peace. As members of the Parish of Frenchs Forest, we are blessed to come together in faith to experience God’s love through the Mass and through one another as a community of faith. I am continually encouraged by your meaningful participation and engagement in the life of our parish.

As we continue to journey together as the People of God, I invite you to deepen this engagement, through prayerful consideration of becoming a Planned Giver.

Planned Giving is a prayerful commitment to dedicate a portion of your financial income to God and His Church in gratitude for His many blessings. It helps ensure the mission and ministries of our parish continue to thrive for our present community and future generations. Your contributions remain within our local parish and support:
  • Evangelisation and mission outreach
  • Liturgical expenses (vestments, bread, wine)
  • Ongoing ministries (youth, senior, RCIA)
  • Special ministries (Catechetics, sacramental programs, aged care visits)
  • Equipment and resources (computers, photocopiers)
  • Parish utilities, insurance, repairs, and staff wages
Becoming a Planned Giver is a simple yet profound way to grow in your faith and commitment to God. If you are not yet a Planned Giver, I encourage you to take this step. If you are already contributing on an ongoing basis to the Parish, thank you. I invite you to prayerfully consider increasing your offering as you are able. You are invited to take home a prayer card and the other materials available in the parish and discern your offering to God. QR codes are now available, making giving simpler and easier than ever.

We have made giving simpler and easier than ever by introducing:
  • QR code scanning using your mobile phone
  • Parish Payment Gateway link via the “Donate” button on the Parish homepage
For more information or assistance with Planned Giving, please contact the parish office, and we will be delighted to help you.

May God bless you abundantly as you continue to live out your faith and share in His mission.

Sincerely yours in Christ,
Fr. Satheesh Antony OSH,
Parish Priest.

Dear Parish Family, Thank you so much for your incredible generosity and ongoing support! Because of you, our parish continues to thrive and serve the community. As you know, this vibrancy relies on your generosity for which there are now many different ways of giving using modern technology. In recent times we have introduced Tap’n’go machines in our churches. We have now added a new, easy, and secure way to make a contribution to support our parish—through a simple scan of a QR code. This small code allows you to give a single gift directly from your phone at any time, wherever you may be. All you need to do is open your camera, scan the code and you'll be taken directly to our secure giving page. It’s fast, easy, and helps the parish to continue the great work we’re doing together. Of course, like Tap’n’go, contributions by QR code are a once only gift. If you would like your donation to be regular and automatic, please join our Planned Giving program which is easily arranged ...
