“Welcome to the website for St Jude’s, Wexford”.

St Jude’s is a vibrant Anglican parish; serving this area of Toronto since 1848. We strive to be an open and welcoming faith community for any who are looking for a new spiritual home and for those who appreciate the liturgy of the Anglican Church. Especially during these challenging times, I hope you will take the time to see that our cause is hope – each and every day.

Help Our Group Raise Funds

By Using Gift Cards for Your Everyday Spending

More Information

Do you buy groceries, gas, household items, shop at department stores, do you eat in at restaurants, go to the movies or need gifts for holidays, birthday and special events?

FundScrip is a fundraising program that lets the Church of St. Jude (Wexford) raise much needed funds simply by purchasing gift cards to the stores you are already shopping at.

For example: you purchase a $100 grocery card and you will receive a $100 grocery card and a percentage of your purchase will be donated to the Church of St. Jude (Wexford).

We encourage you to invite your family members, friends, co-workers and neighbours to participate in FundScrip as well. After all, they probably buy groceries and gas just like you do.

How does this work?

1. Download/print form and fill it out with the quantity of cards for each retailer and sum up your order total (there are also printed paper forms available in the office if you do not have a printer at home).

2. Attach payment in cash or cheque (payable to: The Church of St. Jude (Wexford)) and drop off the filled form and payment at the secure mail box before Sunday March 19, 2023.

OR 

3. Email filled form to arbelaezml05@hotmail.com and send an e-transfer to treasurer@stjudewexford.ca for your order total by Sunday March 19, 2023. Please state “FundScrip gift cards” in the comment section.

4. The gift cards will be ready for pick up on Sunday April 2, 2022, just in time for Easter!

Please do not hesitate to contact Lina Arbelaez if you have any questions.
