A number of parishioners have sought clarification on the Collections in the Church and Donations to the Parish.

MAINTENANCE OF THE PARISH

This is for the general maintenance and upkeep of the Church - heat, light, repairs, grounds, salaries etc.

You can donate to this fund by setting up a monthly, quarterly or annual Standing Order with your bank or by leaving a donation into the Parish Office.  Please contact the Parish Office to obtain a Standing Order Form.

We strongly appeal for more Parishioners to support this fund and/or consider increasing their existing contribution.
