Please be aware that at this time, you and your parish are vulnerable to many dishonest financial schemes being set up by opportunistic companies and ‘crowd-funding’. In increasingly financially-straitened circumstances the question is still being asked: ‘How do I support my Parish during this time?’
Online Parish Offertory allows you to make a secure online donation to your Parish Offertory at any time.
N.B
From Wednesday 2nd December, Public Masses will resume in the Parish. Please read the Newsletter which has times of Masses at both Churches.
