Our Parish does not receive any funding from elsewhere and therefore relies on Parishioners to fund its day-to-day running.

We are grateful to the many parishioners and those from further afield, who generously support our Parish financially.

 

How can you support our Parish?

 

• Monthly or weekly standing orders: payable through your bank, the monthly standing order is an easy way to donate to the Parish on a monthly basis.

 

• Weekly planned giving envelopes: using a pack of dated envelopes for each Sunday and for Special Collections, which we can supply on request.

 

• PayPal website: using this link Donate (paypal.com)  you are able to make regular and ad hoc donations to the Parish, online.  Please include a hint in the “reference” so it’s easy to know what your donation is for (e.g. Mass, weekly collection, Easter offering) – (PayPal deduct a fee)

When can you support our Parish?

• Weekly Mass: Donations at Mass form our most significant source of funding for the day-to-day running of the Parish.
• One-off donations: Many of our Parishioners like to make one-off donations over the course of the year.
• Your Will: Some Parishioners leave legacies to the Parish. This gives significant help towards special works and one-off items.  For more information, click here
