Christmas 2014
Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Patrick’s,
“And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen
His glory”
(John 1:14)
The birth of our Saviour, that is, God becoming one of us, is so
extraordinary that we can hardly comprehend it. 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. For more information:
