Fr Steve Donations

Thank you to those who have already donated to the collection for Fr Steve.  We are seeking the support of everyone who has been touched by him and is willing to participate in our OLOF (parishioners and council) gift to help secure his future.  In consideration of his 14 years of wonderful service at our Mission and the unique way he connected with our teens, children and parishioners - young and old - the OLOF Council would like to provide him with a substantial “OLOF pension support” (via a payment into his pension fund).  This should make it easier for him to spend his old age in Lausanne and the community he loves.  Without such a contribution, Fr Steve faces an uncertain future.  Unlike Swiss priests who pay pension contributions from the start of their mission until they retire (approximately 40 years), Steve has only 14 years of contributions.  Even including his British pension, which will be low, this is not enough for him to live in Lausanne.  Those of you who know the Swiss pension system will be aware that this will require a substantial sum.  OLOF Council made a solid donation to Fr Vincent, Fr Steve’s predecessor, when he left the Mission in 2010, and we will do the same for Fr Steve. However, this will not be enough to meet our goal.  And so we are appealing for  generous donations from present and past parishioners which, we hope, will greatly assist in helping him better manage his future.  We have a lot to thank Fr Steve for and now is the time to express that gratitude.  At a future date, we'll arrange a Mass to thank him in person for everything he has done for us.   

If you'd like to contribute to the gift you may do so via donations to our BCV bank account (see About Us/Donate) - please put 'Fr Steve gift' as the reference - or via the Twint QR code which is available in Champittet and Bethusy and in the bottom right, purple box (on the same About Us/Donate page).  For the QR code please include your surname and put ‘Fr Steve’ in the ‘purpose’ section.  Thank you.

We ask that you receive the Holy Eucharist in your hand and not on the tongue, for hygiene reasons.  For that same reason we are not currently distributing the Precious Blood.
