PARISH
FINANCES
The offertory
collection last weekend came to £728.03 including cheques and standing
orders.
Many thanks to
all concerned.
SPECIAL
COLLECTION TODAY
for the Missionary Endeavour of the Diocese.
THE DIOCESAN
SAFEGUARDING OFFICE
has said that we need to facilitate new DBS checks for all volunteers whose certificates are more than 3 years old. Due to the high number of volunteers in the parish, we will facilitate 10 checks at a time and will be in touch with each volunteer when we are ready. This represents a considerable administrative task and we plan to send out application forms during June. We understand that the process can be inconvenient to some but we are obligated to ensure all volunteers have valid CRB certificates and appreciate your support with this. Chris Emary will be in touch with each volunteer when we are ready to start the process. Please feel free to contact him if you have any queries. Tel no. 07518521286 or 01424 753923. Thank you. |
GIFT
AID
So what is Gift Aid, I hear you
ask? Gift Aid is a Government scheme which enables charities to
reclaim the income tax that you have paid on the money you give to
them. The Diocese is a registered charity. The parish
is part of the Diocese. So we can reclaim the tax on what you
give to the parish, if – but only if – you allow us to do so. We have claimed
tax back on our offertory collections but with only limited participation in
the scheme. We are seeking to increase the proportion of our weekly
collection that we can claim Gift Aid on. If you would like more information
on the Gift Aid Scheme or have decided to take part than please fill in your
details and return them to the presbytery. We will also be taking details
after Masses next weekend, the 4th/5th June.
