Weekly Offerings: If you wish to set up standing order instead of using church envelopes or the plate collection, you can fill out a standing order form at the back of the church and return it to Fr John. If you pay tax on your income please consider signing a Gif Aid Form. You do not lose any money but the church benefits from this (this year Gift Aid income realised over £25,000). Alternatively, you can set up your donation online. Parish bank details available from Fr John. You can also donate by scanning the QR code Missing envelopes from your Gift Aid envelope box: Some envelopes appeared to have been missing but they are in fact not missing. Rather, they have been included in the wrong months meaning you cannot see them until a later month! If you could please rearrange the order in your envelope box, you will find that they are all available for the second collections. Many thanks. We apologise for any inconvenience.
