Donate to the Parish
Thank you so much.
Your giving allows us to do everything we do here in this Parish, including enabling our Masses to take place, sacramental preparation, work with children and youth and their families, our courses and much more.
All of this is made possible by your prayers, serving and giving – we couldn’t do it without you. Thank you.

We really appreciate your weekly giving at Mass. Donating a regular amount of money is the best way of supporting your Parish financially. It enables us to plan ahead knowing that we have a reliable source of income, especially in these uncertain times.
Throughout life, circumstances change. The parish will be pleased to receive whatever you feel able to give. Please be assured that every aspect of your giving is treated with the utmost confidentiality.

Gift Aid
If you are a UK tax-payer, the Parish can reclaim a tax rebate equal to 25% of the amount you donate, and at no extra cost to you, so if you give £10 to the Parish, we can reclaim £2.50 and it still only costs you £10. This is a very important additional source of income to the parish, so please register if you are a UK tax-payer and have not already done so. Most people who give by standing order have already registered for gift aid – if you have not already done so, or are unsure, please see the gift aid coordinator.
If you contribute through the parish website, you can tick the box, to say that you are a UK tax payer and wich to claim gift aid.
If you contribute using contactless, you can either register on the machine after you have made a qualifying donation, or use the QR code to register your card in the privacy of your home using your smartphone, tablet or PC.
Once you have registered your details, every donation you give using that method will be automatically gift-aided without the need for you to enter your details again.
Finally, if you are a higher-rate tax payer, please remember to reclaim the personal tax refund to which you are entitled, which means a lower overall cost to you.

One off Donations
If you are able to make a one-off donation towards a number of important projects which need to be tackled, please donate to our major project fund. The finance committee is currently costing and prioritising these projects, some of which may not go ahead unless we have enough money in the bank. The more money we raise, the more freedom and flexibility we will have to carry out those works sooner rather than later. If you can afford it, please make a one-off donation to the project fund here
200 club
The monthly cost to join the 200 Club is £3, which can be paid either monthly, quarterly (£9) or annually (£36) by standing order. Each quarter a draw is made and if your number is picked at random, then you will win a prize. If you are interested in taking out a number, then please contact the Parish office on 01483 562704 or by email – [email protected]
Generosity is at the Heart.
|
Generosity is at the heart of the Gospel and the Christian life; it is often through giving that we are able to bring the love of God to others in very real and tangible ways.
The Catholic Parish of Guildford is a vibrant and diverse community and could not function if it were not for the generosity of an army of parishioners who volunteer their time and talent for the service of the community. We are blessed by many people across the Parish who are generous with the most precious commodity – time. There are also those who are equally generous with their financial giving. This is very encouraging and uplifting. |

However, there is a constant need for new people to come forward as the Parish seeks to offer more to our children and young people, their families and those who find themselves in need of more support - the elderly and housebound.
As a flourishing Parish we seek to do more to support our parishioners and the town we live in, by giving in whichever way we can. If you feel able to respond to this by increasing your financial support and/or giving your time to support the work undertaken by fellow parishioners, please take this opportunity to do so.

LegaciesLeaving a legacy to charities is fast becoming a very popular way of helping others when you've gone. By leaving a gift to the church in your will, you'll help make an important long-term contribution to our work. It will be free of inheritance tax; so all you need to do is tell your solicitor, or will writer, that you would like to leave either a legacy to us.
We're always extremely grateful to receive gifts from generous benefactors, and they have allow a number of improvements to the churches, including the kitchen at St Josephs, and a new disabled access at St Marys. Below is a form with more details, otherwise for any queries please talk to a priest after Mass. |
