2nd Collections
Parishioners have asked about how to donate to 2nd collections when they have no cash on them. You can now do this by using the QR code which is located near the card machine. The next 2nd collection is on the weekend of 21 June for the “Day for Life Fund” which makes grants to organisations which promote respect for life in various ways.
