ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF NELSON

Our Pilgrimage of Faith Appeal

Download the 2026 Appeal Brochure (PDF)

Each year every parish in the Diocese of Nelson takes part in Our Pilgrimage of Faith Appeal. The 2026 appeal, A Journey toward a mansion of many rooms, has a diocesan goal of $605,000.

Gifts to the appeal support ministries no single parish could carry alone: parish youth ministry, pension assistance for retired priests, vocations, Catholic education and catechism, RCIA, marriage and family support, lay training, capital projects for parishes and schools, Seton House of Prayer, the Office of Faith Formation, the Marriage Tribunal, UBCO Catholic Christian Outreach, First Nations ministry, social and pastoral programs, Rachel's Vineyard, Grief to Grace and Catholic Mountain Star.

Please mention St. Charles Garnier Parish with your gift so it counts toward our parish share.

Ways to Give to the Appeal

  • E-transfer to etransfer.pof@nelsondiocese.org. Put your name, address and St. Charles Garnier Parish in the message. The funds deposit automatically, so no security question is needed.
  • Online by credit card at CanadaHelps.org, or through the Donate Now button on nelsondiocese.org. Credit card gifts carry a processing fee, so a little less reaches the appeal.
  • Cheque payable to The Roman Catholic Bishop of Nelson, dropped at the parish office or mailed to the Diocesan Appeals Office.
  • Monthly pre-authorized payments (with a void cheque) or post-dated cheques, using the pledge form in the 2026 appeal brochure. Print it, fill it in and bring it to the parish office. The brochure also has a QR code for credit card gifts.
