Only your donations keep our church open for Mass, baptisms, weddings, funerals, confessions, etc. We do not get funding from anyone or anywhere else — not even from the diocese. We are running on a deficit (i.e., we are paying more expenses than we are receiving in donations).

To be financially sustainable, we need to increase our weekly income from donations by £500. Every week, throughout the year.

If we don’t, money will run out within the next five years and we face the risk of our church being closed or merged with another parish.

We thank those who—following Fr Antonio’s appeal last week—have signed up for Standing Order or have pledged to increase the amount of their regular donations.

For those who have not yet set up a Standing Order, forms are available at the back of the church. You can also set up or amend your Standing Order by contacting your bank directly with the details below.

Thank you for supporting our parish.
