DonateFor everyone the coronavirus lockdown means a period of uncertainty and financial instability. In the parish, as in every household, the bills continue to arrive and have to be paid even though our income has been cut dramatically. We encourage those of you who can to continue supporting us financially and, if you ordinarily contribute by way of cash at Sunday Mass, to please take out a Standing Order. For more information please contact the parish communications team at orpingtoncc@rcaos.org.uk |
