PHILIPPINES TYPHOON HAIYAN – HUMANITARIAN RELIEF
The Archdiocese of Toronto is accepting financial contributions for humanitarian relief following the
catastrophic effects of Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as Yolanda) on November 8 in the Philippines.
With a tidal surge of more than six metres and winds approaching 275km/h, Typhoon Haiyan
destroyed buildings, crops and infrastructure across several islands, leaving thousands dead.
Estimates suggest more than 9.5 million people are in need of aid across nine provinces and more
than 600,000 have been forced from their homes.
Relief workers from the official Catholic relief agency on the ground, NASSA-Caritas Philippines, say
the victims most need emergency shelter, water and sanitation, household relief items, potable water
and toilets as relief operations gear up.
Those wishing to help can make cheques payable to St. Timothy Parish – Philippines Typhoon
Haiyan – Humanitarian Relief. Please use the Humanitarian envelopes in the foyer of the church
and print your name and address if you wish a tax receipt.
The Canadian government has announced it will match donations to the Typhoon Haiyan Relief
Fund made by Canadians between Nov. 9 and Dec. 9. Contributions made to the Archdiocese of
Toronto for this relief effort will be eligible for the matching program.
PRAY FOR THE SICK
Please pray for all who are ill, especially for Barb Marx, Calisse Madigan, Scott Maitland, Olive Lane, Graham
Garrett

OFFERTORY BOXES FOR 2014
For those who have
registered and presently
have an offertory box,
please note that the boxes
for 2014 are available at
the back of the church. Please help us by
taking your box home with you.
Those who would like to receive a box of
envelopes are requested to fill out a Parish
Registration Form and submit it to the office.
We have the option of Pre-Authorized Giving
(direct debit from your bank) .
PRE-AUTHORIZED GIVING (PAG)
Pre-Authorized Giving (PAG) is made available
by the Archdiocese for the convenience
of parishioners and to assist parishes in
processing donations. Parishioners determine
the amount they wish to have withdrawn from
their bank accounts (on the 20th of each
month) to represent their total donations for the
month. St. Timothy's would need to receive the
authorization forms by the 10th of the month.
All parishioners are welcome to register for
PAG instead of using Offertory Envelopes.
Some reasons parishioners choose PAG are:
• they find they forget to bring their donation
envelopes to Mass;
• they travel during the summer/winter
months or are housebound and wish to
ensure their support continues during
their absence from the parish;
• they like the convenience of PAG.
If you would like to join the Pre-Authorized
Giving, forms are available in the foyer of the
Church or in the office.
If you need more information, please call
Jeswyn at 416-494-6526 ext. 101

part of your application for employment, there must
be a letter of reference from your pastor. If you (or
if your adult child) are planning to apply to teach
in a Catholic School a contact with the pastor is
highly recommended. Please plan to have a
conversation with your pastor at least

letter from the pastor. Thank you!
