Share the Gift of Easter Joy
Support Our Parish Priest, Fr. Ross
Easter is a time of hope, renewal, and gratitude—a time when we come together as a faith community to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ. It is also a special opportunity to show our deep appreciation for our dedicated parish priest, Fr. Ross, whose tireless service, pastoral care, and chaplaincy work in our schools enrich our lives and strengthen our faith.
Did you know? Fr Ross does not receive a salary. Instead, his personal income comes from a small stipend and the offerings made at Christmas and Easter, which form a significant part of his yearly financial support.
This Easter, let us generously support Fr. Ross in his vocation and mission—both within our two parishes and beyond. Your Easter Offering is not just a financial contribution; it is a gift of gratitude, a recognition of his dedication, and a way to ensure he can continue his vital ministry in the year ahead
Please note: your usual Standing Order/Direct Debit to the Church DOES NOT go to Fr Ross, it goes to the Parish, only the actual collection made at Christmas and Easter goes to support Fr Ross.
How to Give:
-
Easter Offering Cash Envelopes (available from the 5th Sunday of Lent and during Easter Masses). If you are a UK taxpayer, please fill in the Gift Aid declaration to increase your donation at no extra cost.
-
Online Banking – For those who prefer to give digitally, please use the reference: Easter (see details in Support of the Church section of the newsletter)
-
By Cheque – write Easter Collection on the back (see details later in the newsletter
-
Or via the Give as You Live links:
Every offering, no matter the size, is a meaningful way to say ‘thank you’ for the countless ways Fr. Ross serves our parish family.
May your generosity be blessed abundantly this Easter
