All churches must pay a parish share (quota) to Manchester Diocese. This is used mainly to support stipendiary clergy and the ministry and mission across the Diocese. Our parish share for 2023 is £42,227.
In addition, we have general running costs - lighting, heating, insurance, church supplies etc. The only income we receive is from the kind donations of individuals. Some local businesses sadvertise in our parish magazine.
If you would like to make a donation, you can do this by PayPal paypal.me/StThomaschurch .
Alternatively, if you would like to set up a regular donation by standing order or direct debit, please email corinneogden280@btinternet.com for the bank account details.
Donations can now be made in church by debit/credit card using our electronic card reader.
