Donations
There are various ways to pay money to the parish. These may be helpful for those unable to attend mass due to the current Covid restrictions.
Thanks to all those who have donated to the parish funds, money is still required to cover various parish expenses.
Envelopes
Offertory gifts can be posted through the presbytery door either in offertory envelopes or plain envelopes with your name or number on. If you are not able to get the envelopes to us, please ring and let us know. If you wish to change to giving by standing order, either permanently or during the current situation please see the information below. Thank you to those who have already done this. Please note, all cheques, for both Mass Offerings and Offertory Collection, should be made to “St Mary’s Middlewich” or the bank will not accept them.
Standing Order
If you wish to set up a Standing Order either permanently or in order to continue to make your regular Offertory gift to the Parish during the current situation, please contact the presbytery for details. Email: stmarysrcmiddlewich@gmail.com
Online Giving
For those Parishioners who normally give in the collection at Mass and wish to help the Parish at this time, an online donation page to allow you to donate to the Parish is available. Please be aware that a minimum donation of £5 is requested if giving in this way. You can also Gift Aid your donation to help the Parish further. If you want to Gift Aid your donation, please tick the box shown on the screen even if you have previously completed a Gift Aid Declaration form in favour of the Parish for regular giving made by Offertory Envelope or Standing Order. Donations to St. Mary's Parish funds can be made online using this link: St Mary's Parish Online Giving.
Thank you for your support.
Online giving can be a regular payment or a single payment. This payment site can be used for offertory gifts, mass offerings, etc. There is an opportunity to add a note giving a reason for the donation, and your envelope number if appropriate.
