Pre-Authorized Giving (EFT)
PRE AUTHORIZED GIVING
What is pre-authorized giving? To accomplish the mission entrusted to us by Christ, St. Stephen of Hungary Parish depends entirely on the generosity of our parishioners. Preauthorized giving allows you to give to your parish intentionally and faithfully through scheduled monthly transfers from your bank account. Each month your account will be debited an amount you specify. These funds are then deposited directly into the parish’s account.
Payments can be cancelled within 30 days of written notification to the parish.
If you are interested in this method of giving to the parish, please send us an email or give us a call
905-387-3550 ore send us an email and we will send you the form to complete as we would require a ‘void’ cheque.
You may also complete this form and return it to us by mail or email.

75th Anniversary of the Blessing of our Church (April 14, 2024)
We celebrated the 75th anniversary of the blessing of our church. We welcomed Bishop Wayne Lobsinger, the auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Hamilton, who celebrated the anniversary of this joyful and historic event. After Mass, the bishop met with some of our members.
We were joined as well by Gábor Markocsány, Consul at the Hungarian Consulate in Toronto.
The program featured actor Csaba Marosán (member of the Hungarian Theater of Kolozsvar) who gave an amazing performance, including the origins of expressions, the hidden meaning of folk songs, and several songs from modern performances.
The well-known local flutist Mate Szigeti performed three pieces with hungarian themes.
We enjoyed an amazing hungarian dance.
