Parish contributions

The contribution to parish costs, clergy wages, laymen staff is vital for the Church because it is our main resource in addition to quests during celebrations. Giving to the Church means supporting its presence and its role in society and providing it with the means to carry out its mission..

Why donate?

Because you are part of the Church and you also want to participate in her material life. Because it is to give our parish the means to live out the mission it has received from Christ. This is a voluntary contribution from any Orthodox or anyone who wants to support the life of the local Church.

What is it for?

• to pay compensation to our prieststo
• light, heat, and maintain all the premises (church, presbytery, Tatiana room)
• to decorate the church especially for celebrations to ensure the running costs of the parish (cash advances for the purchase of candles and prosphora, photocopies, telephone, equipment and household products, cleaning of priestly vestments, etc.)

When and how to donate?

At any time of the year. Please give preference to regular donations by direct debits, for example once a month. This gives our parish visibility on its income. You can also make a donation by visiting the Parish Secretariat during the week.

For donors who pay income taxes in France, a tax receipt is sent once a year.

You can download below the IBAN account number of the parish

How much to donate?

To donate, even in a modest way, is to give the Church the means to act. Everyone donates according to their means. It is usually considered that the participation is the equivalent of 1 to 2% of your annual income, or 10% of your income tax, or the value of 2 or 3 working days.

In addition, if you are paying income taxes in France, you can deduct 66% of your donation from your income taxes (up to 20% of your income taxes). Thus, by giving €200, you benefit from a tax deduction of €132, and your donation actually costs you only €68. Tax receipts are sent once a year in time to file your tax return declaration.

The Church accompanies us throughout our lives, let's also support her financially.

We thank you for your generosity and your participation in the life of the Church.
