Frequently asked questions about the online donation

 

Why do we ask for your donations?

The Shrine had very modest beginnings. In 1658, a man by the name of Louis Guimond was miraculously healed. Since those early beginnings the Shrine has undergone numerous changes both large and small.

Today, the Shrine is as it is because of the many graces granted through the intercession of Good Saint Anne. It is also because of the donations and sacrifices made by people like you over the course of more than 350 years.

If we are to continue to provide the services to the many thousands of people who come to visit each year, and maintain the state of the buildings here at the Shrine, we need your help.

This is why we hope to receive the help of many of those who visit the Shrine, both pilgrims and other visitors. Any financial help you wish to give us can be done securely online, following the directions.

We thank you for the help you can give us, and assure you that all help goes directly to the Shrine, its upkeep, and to continue the work we do here.

Is a Donation Tax Deductible?

Donations to the Shrine are tax deductible only in Canada, and receipts are sent out automatically for all amounts of $25.00 or more. If your donation is under $25.00, you must request a tax receipt when you send your donation. A thank-you letter will be sent to the address provided.
