BECOME AN AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST AND BE A JOYFUL WITNESS FOR THE LORD JESUS AND HIS CHURCH In response to a growing interest in the Catholic faith, the Archdiocese of Southwark has launched Ambassadors for Christ, a landmark apologetics project. This video series is designed to equip you with a deeper understanding of your faith, so you can confidently answer questions and be a joyful witness for the Lord Jesus and his Church. WHY DO CATHOLICS ADORE THE EUCHARIST? Canon Michael Branch explains why Catholics adore the Eucharist and the origins of this most sacred devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ. The Worksheet for this Youtube video is on the back of this weeks Newsletter THANKYOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR PARISH We are extremely grateful for the generosity of our parishioners, and are not asking for any more donations. We are only looking to organise things more efficiently to maximise income! This is aimed at those that: 1. Currently give cash for donations and could change to bank standing order 2. Taxpayers who do not currently gift aid your donation If you fit either category or both, then please let us help you. Volunteers will be available to assist in the Parish Hall after all Masses this and next weekend. Both options involve the same form. Forms will be available in the hall, or at the back of the church. Forms can also be posted through the front door of the presbytery. 1. Standing Order - The Easiest Way to Give Instead of putting money into the weekly offertory at church, a set amount can be paid automatically from your bank, either weekly or monthly. You will need to provide your account number and sort code and the amount you wish to give, on the form. We will send this form to your bank to activate. Your details will remain confidential. You remain in full control — you can amend or cancel at any time through your bank. 2. Gift Aid - Increase Your Donation by 25% at No Extra Cost If you are a UK taxpayer, you can make your donation worth 25% more simply by completing a Gift Aid declaration. For every £1 you give, the parish can claim an extra 25p from HMRC - at no cost to you. If you do not currently pay by Gift Aid and you are a UK taxpayer, please complete the Gift Aid section of the form which will count for all future donations. Please Join Us in Supporting Our Parish Let us continue to build a strong, faith-filled parish community together. If you are able, please visit the Church Hall after Mass on one of the March weekends. Thank you for your generosity and commitment to our parish.
