SCIAF & Papal & Episcopal & St. Mirin’s Fund - 12 September 2021Postponed from 14th March
due to Covid restrictions
The proceeds of this collection are divided 75% to SCIAF and 25% to our new St Mirin’s Fund. SCIAF is the official aid and international development charity of the Catholic Church in Scotland. It works in sixteen countries across Asia, Africa and Latin America to help the poorest in the world, regardless of religion, to work their way out of poverty. The St. Mirin’s Fund awards small grants for good causes that promote the Kingdom of God among us, with special consideration to: children and young people, the elderly, those with disabilities and special needs, or suffering from poverty, mental illness, homelessness or refugees. In 2018 this collection raised £28,013, which represents 110% of our expenditure of £25,389 resulting in a small fund surplus of £2,624. The Papal & Episcopal Fund also contributed £15,000 from reserves to the SPRED Fund.

You can take part in the Diocese of Paisley Friends Project. The Diocese is running an annual deficit of £300,000 and Bishop John has approved a plan to put us in surplus from now on.
Our Friends Campaign is the heart of this and it is hoped that if every member of our Diocese gave just £5 per year as a friend, we would be in surplus.
If you feel you would like to help in this way, please contact either Canon Eddie or telephone the Diocese of Paisley on 0141 847 6131.Text a Donation
Please note that the Diocese have now set up their "Text a Donation" Service which allows you to send a donation to the Diocese through your mobile phone. All you have to do is text £5 DOPF01 to 70070. £5 is only a suggestion. Any amount is very much appreciated.
