SUNDAY ENVELOPES – 2008
Sunday Envelopes Will be available in a couple of weeks. We are currently restructuring our envelopes and parishioners who currently have envelopes “above # 500” will receive a new number but will still be in the white boxes.
Parishioners who participate in the Pre-Authorized Giving Program and opted to receive only the “22 Special Envelopes” will receive a “purple box”.
Your co-operation in picking up your envelopes as soon as possible is greatly appreciated.
Tax-saving alert!
BCE (Bell Canada), one of Canada's premier telecommunications companies, has announced that they have accepted a take-over bid and will soon become a private company. All common shareholders will be required to sell or donate their BCE securities and will face a large tax bill because of the greatly appreciated value of their stock. Many people purchased shares years ago when shares were worth as little as $6.00 per share. For example, at a value of $41.00 per share based on a cost of $6.00, the individual realize a $35.00 gain and be forced to pay $7.70 per share in capital gains taxes. By donating your shares to our parish, OLPH, you can avoid the taxes on gains, dividend reinvestments and stock splits and spin-offs. Please consider using this opportunity to save in 2007 as the deadline to sell is early 2008.
Please call Paul Nazareth, Manager of Planned Giving and Major Gifts at the Archdiocese 416.934-3400, ext. 561 to hear how parishioners are taking advantage of this one time event. Please share this message with other Catholics you know!
