Fourth Sunday of Advent
Dear Friends,
As we head towards the New Year, we would like to thank you for your continued contributions and support during this hard financial time to our Church, be it by standing order, cash/gift aid envelope or card machine.
Just over two and half years ago we installed the Dona (Card Machines). During this period, you have donated to the offertory, charities and other church activities. The total amount received is now just over £66,000.
You can also pay for candles and donations towards coffee/tea/biscuits in the hall after the 8.30am and 10.30am Masses. Mass Stipends (please notify the Parish Office with your Mass request for this as we cannot identify who the Mass is for on the system at present).
Along with the other ways of donating, we will be putting in the newsletter the average weekly/monthly totals for the offertory and charity collections.
Please gift aid if you are a taxpayer. We can reclaim 25p in every pound on the offertory and Parish Charity Fund from HMRC. You can enter your details on the Dona Card Machines. If you pay by standing order, please contact our Gift Aid Co-ordinator at ga.frimley@abdiocese.org.uk
Thank you again for your continued support.

Crib Offering to Support the Catholic Children’s Society’s A&B Crisis Fund
The Catholic Children’s Society (CCS) helps families in our diocese who are facing a crisis in their lives. Through their A&B Crisis Fund, they provide immediate support when families need it most. For example, helping a newly bereaved family put food on the table, or simply providing a child living in poverty with a warm winter coat. There are many more vulnerable families in need of support and our parish will be donating our crib offering to support this important work. You can donate at the crib or via the CCS website: www.cathchild.org.uk/crib
