Thank you for wanting to give towards the needs of our parish!

Your contributions are gratefully appreciated.
In-Person Giving
The Collection Basket is passed during weekend Masses (cash or cheques accepted with gratitude).
Donations are also gratefully accepted at our Parish Office during regular office hours (see schedule at bottom of this page).
Periodic donations can be made in four ways:
Give by cheque - mailed in to: St. Mary’s Parish, 10 River Heights Dr., Cochrane, T4C 0N8 or dropped off at the Parish Office during office hours (or you could drop your cheque in the collection basket at Mass).
Use the appropriate printed form HERE (for Direct Debit or Credit Card payments).Completed forms can be scanned and e-mailed, mailed via regular post, or dropped off at the Church.
Initiate an e-transfer using accounting@stmaryscochrane.ca as the target email. Please refer to your envelope number (if you have one) in the message section of the transaction.
Use the online giving form available via the Calgary Diocese website HERE. Name your parish as "St. Mary's Cochrane" and designate your gift toward "Multiply the Hope" to get the Diocese to double your donation.
Or, you can Participate in St. Mary's Grocery-Card Program anytime:
Purchasing grocery cards through the Parish office or before or after weekend Masses also helps St. Mary's—we're paying down our mortgage!

WHAT DO CATHOLICS DO?
We do STEWARDSHIP!
When the history of our generation of Catholics is written, may it be said of us:
“What good stewards they were! They faced economic uncertainty and shifting demographics. They faced threats to the church from without and scandal from within. And yet they kept investing themselves in the life of the Church. They kept praying. They kept coming to Mass. They kept participating. They kept giving their life’s blood for the sake of God and His Church.
And through their efforts and the grace of God, the world around them started to change. Ever gradually, the culture of death became a culture of life.”
