But with our eyes of faith and our hearts of love, we will celebrate this miraculous event once again. Ever old, ever new, the Nativity of our Lord continues to bring Light to a world that has gone dark in many places. The evils of war are once again among us. The poor and the marginalized are still waiting to see the enfleshed promise of redemption through our words and actions. We will gather shortly to celebrate the birth of our Redeemer. May we prepare for His coming by clothing the naked, feeding the hungry and loving the unloved. May the Joy of Christmas be yours, Prayerfully yours, Msgr. Francis John Coyle C.S.S. Pastor SAINT PATRICK’S RESTORATION FOUNDATION Revenu Quebec has confirmed that the St. Patrick’s Restoration Foundation is designated as a “Registered Cultural Organization” for Quebec taxation purposes. Large donations can potentially qualify for tax credits that equal approximately 75% of the amount of the gift, such that a gift of, say, $25,000 can be made at an actual cost to the donor of $6,250! DONATIONS BETWEEN $5,000 AND $25,000 MADE BEFORE JANUARY 1, 2018 A donor may receive, for a given taxation year, in addition to the tax credit for donations currently allowed by the tax system, a non-refundable tax credit equal to 25% of the eligible amount of a initial large donation made in the current year or one of the four preceding years. A COMMITMENT OF $250,000 (PLUS) OVER A TEN YEAR PERIOD Instead of the tax credit for donations and the new additional tax credit as described above, these individuals may claim a non-refundable tax credit calculated at a rate of 30% of the donation. The St. Patrick’s Restoration Foundation was set up in 1988 for the sole purpose of financing the restoration work needed by Saint Patrick’s Basilica, its ancillary buildings and land.
