The Government of Canada recently announced its intention to extend the deadline for charitable donations from 2024 to February 28, 2025. This decision is intended to mitigate the impact of the recent postal service disruption and allow donors to support charities with peace of mind.

The Catholic Church in Montreal relies on the generosity of the faithful to continue providing essential services to our communities, such as accompanying the spiritual needs of young people and their families, supporting the vulnerable and promoting social justice. This extension offers you the opportunity to make a gift to support these valuable works while enjoying tax benefits for the year 2024.

If you submit your donation in January or February, please be sure to indicate **“Donation of 2024”** on the form accompanying your contribution. As always, donations mailed in December will be counted for 2024, even if received early next year.

If you have any questions about your donations or tax receipts, please don't hesitate to contact us at jfolly@diocesemontreal.org. Receipts for the 2024 tax year will be issued in the coming weeks and can be reissued on request, if required.

Thank you for your faithful commitment and generosity to the works of the Church. Together, we continue to build a community filled with hope and faith.
