ENVELOPES:
As the new envelopes are being delivered we wish to thank everyone who
contributes; we will give you a summary of parish accounts in the coming weeks. We would like to highlight a couple of things which have come to our attention: a number of people are paying very well and yet have not signed a gift aid form.

This can be done without any extra expense while enhancing your
contribution by 28%. Forms are available in the sacristy & parish office.
Another group of people do not use their envelope and yet contribute by cash, and while this is much appreciated it would be better for recording purposes if Envelopes/Standing Orders were used and may also enhance gift aid. To others who for one reason or another have not been paying or paying a small amount we appeal for your kind support to the parish.

For those who would like to contribute and have not received envelopes because you have moved house or are new to the parish please contact the parish office.

Again thanks to everyone for their support in so many ways.
