Supporting our Parishes Financially

The work of our Parishes continues even during the Coronavirus pandemic and is supported entirely by your generosity.  Indeed, our two parishes, like all parishes in the Diocese of Lancaster, pays a levy to help fund the central offices and agencies of the Diocese, like the Education Service, the Finance and Property Offices, the Youth Service and Safeguarding Office.  Our Parishes, however, are also expected to support themselves and their mission.

• Obviously, it will not always be easy to offer financial support via the usual weekly collection at Sunday Mass during the current pandemic.  Indeed, our Parishes are likely to see a significant reduction of income should the current crisis continue for a protracted period. The practical ramifications will be extremely serious. Consequently, if you would like to make your donation to your Parish by Standing Order or Bank Transfer – please use the following details:

          Account Name: LRCDTR – Catholic Parish of St John Vianney & St Monica

          Account Number: 11334611

          Sort Code: 40-27-02

or:

        Account Name: LRCDTR – Catholic Parish of St Cuthbert

        Account Number: 11334603

        Sort Code: 40-27-02

A Standing Order Mandate Form (with St John Vianney & St Monica’s parish details already included) can be completed here by individuals and given to their bank direct. The Standing Order Mandate Form (again, to be completed by individuals and given directly to your bank) for St Cuthbert’s parish is here.
