Dear Parishioners,
During this worldwide crisis affecting each one of us, the work of our local Church and our parish is crucial.
As a community we are continuing to care for the spiritual and emotional needs of many individuals and families – and we are looking for new ways to reach out to those isolated and afraid. With Mass attendance greatly reduced and an unknown future ahead, the Sunday collection has taken a major hit while our parishes expenses continue.
I do recognize the financial impact this crisis has had on so many. We ask only that you offer your continued support of our parish according to your means.
To make it easier for you to help the parish help others, the Archdiocese has set up a simple way to give online. This will make it easy for parishioners to support their own parish by a weekly or monthly gift made by credit card or direct debit. Funds go directly to our parish.

Thank you to those parishioners who have already committed to pre-authorized giving at our parish – your support has been and will continue to be critical for our parish operations during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Fr. Amador Abundo
Pastor, Immaculate Conception Parish, Delta
If you would like to have an automatic withdrawal from your bank each month, you may do so by signing up with the Pre-Authorized Debit plan. You may print the form needed using the prompt above. Fill out the form, sign it and drop it into collection basket on Sunday. The office will process the information and funds will be withdrawn from your bank account accordingly.
Please remember that you still required to use an envelope marked “PAD” each week.
2nd collection envelopes are not included in the “PAD” program
so you still need to donate funds using the 2nd collection envelope in your box.
There is always room for improvement however, so we urge every family and young working adult to register with the parish office. Upon registration you will be given a box of contribution envelopes, a convenient way to donate funds on a regular basis.
The parish is presently fund raising for the school seismic upgrade/new building. This is a very expensive project so we ask everyone to give whenever they can.
There are second collections throughout the year but you may donate anytime using a plain envelope clearly marked “Building Fund” with your name and address.
IC Change Initiative boxes one at the church entrance door (right side) and another in front of the statue of our Lady near the Altar. Please drop off your coins and lighten your load.
Many parishioners are choosing to remember the needs of the parish in their last Will. You can plan ahead by simply adding this to your existing Will as a codicil.
… “I give and bequeath to the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Vancouver, incorporated under a special Act of Legislative Assembly of B.C., and whose offices are located in Vancouver, B.C., for the benefit of Immaculate Conception Parish, Delta B.C. The sum of $_______ dollars, or a percentage of the estate, or, the total of the residue of the estate."

We have recently chosen to sponsor a Refugees Family. We need to raise a minimum of $70,000.00 to support the family for a period of one year. Please SUPPORT our different fund raising efforts and give generously to this cause.
