Parish Giving
The Offertory Collection

The offertory collection each week provides the income to run our parish.

​

It covers costs such as

  • the resources used for the liturgy, for faith-based programmes and outreach

  • building costs such as energy bills, maintenance

  • administrative costs, including personnel costs and insurance

  • household costs for our priest (but not a salary; priests do not receive a salary)

  • contribution to Diocesan costs

  • on-going projects or provision for future projects

​

Please consider what you can realistically give, according to your own personal circumstances.  

​

Note that the Christmas and Easter offertory collections are treated differently: these go to the priest, for whom it forms a major part of his personal income.

Retiring Collections

From time to time a collection is taken up as people leave the church at the end of Mass. The money collected goes to a specific cause which is advertised in advance, such as a charity, and is not for general parish use.

Mass Stipends

If you request a Mass Intention, then it is usual to give a donation as a Mass stipend. There is no fixed amount but a minimum of £10 is suggested, if you can afford it.

​

Cash for Mass stipends can be put in the Mass Intention envelopes which are available at the back of the church.

​

Mass stipends form a part of the priest’s personal income.
