Request a Mass
Ask for a Mass to be offered — for someone who has died, for an anniversary, in thanksgiving, or for something you would rather keep to yourself.
An offering is not a payment. A Mass cannot be bought. What you give goes towards the life of the community here, and the Mass is offered whether or not you are able to give anything.
The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the Church’s most powerful prayer, uniting our intentions with the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Offering a Mass for a loved one is a meaningful expression of faith, love, and hope. Whether it is for the repose of departed loved ones, the healing of the sick, giving thanks for blessings received, or for special personal intentions, the Holy Eucharist provides a profound way to entrust our prayers to God’s mercy.

Put GIFT and your surname in the description. It is the only thing that travels with the money, and without it we have no way to know who sent it or to send you a receipt.
Tell us you have sent one and we will watch for it and send your receipt. A transfer does not receipt itself the way a card gift does.
We will never email you to say our account has changed. If you receive a message like that — even one that looks like it came from us — do not send anything. Ring the office on 0451 318 173 or send an email to drcsydney@gmail.com and check. You are also welcome to ring and confirm the details above before your first transfer.
Gifts to the centre are not tax deductible — we are not endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient.
