Share Your Story with the Shepherds’ Trust
The Shepherds’ Trust is about caring for those who always cared for us- your priests. They were with us to celebrate our marriage and bless the exchanging of our vows. They baptized our children and welcomed them into the faith. They were by our sides to console and provide strength, during periods of uncertainty and great sadness.
This is why thousands of parishioners give to the
Shepherds’ Trust. They have a personal story.
And a donation is one way to give thanks for making a life-long commitment to others. How has a priest played a role in your life? The Shepherds’
Trust wants you to share your story. Submit your story by emailing mrogucki@archtoronto.org or by visiting the website at www.shepherdstrust.org or mail them to:
