Supporting your Parish

St Patrick’s is a thriving parish with a strong focus on prayer, evangelisation and outreach.

You can support your parish by becoming involved in any of the focus groups we currently have by either contacting the Parish Office, speaking with Father, or ticking the appropriate box on the Census form.
Perhaps you have an idea of your own that would benefit the parish and its people; if so please contact the Parish Office, or speak directly with Father after Mass.

Another way in which to support the parish is by contributing to the weekly planned giving via the envelope system as the funds raised in this way, and via the loose 2nd collection monies placed on the plate, are those which cover our running costs, maintenance and improvements, and the income on which our budgets are set.

For your convenience, if you would prefer to give monthly by credit card, this may also be arranged.

Contributions to the planned giving are not tax deductible, and if you require a tax benefit we would encourage you to contribute both to St Patrick’s planned giving, and also to the Diocesan Charitable Works Fund which is a 100% tax deductible fund. Contributions to the Charitable Works Fund benefit the parish as they are deducted from the quota levied on the parish by the Diocese and therefore reduce the gap which needs to be paid from parish funds.

Bequeathing to your Parish

A number of parishioners have chosen to remember their parish in their Wills and perhaps this is something you would also like to consider as a lasting gift to your parish?

If you would like to speak with Father about this, please call the Parish Office to arrange an appointment, or simply catch our Parish Priest after the Mass you are attending.

If you like further information to take to your solicitor, please call the Parish Office.
