Finances
From the money placed in the basket, we must pay for the following:
- Rent for the use of the building, heat and light
- Church necessities wine, hosts, flowers, candles, payment for substitute priests and payment for our organist
- Supporting the vocational function of the Augustinian Community and to ensure that they can provide us with spiritual support
We receive no financial assistance from the Polish Church and the survival of the parish depends on your generosity. We ask only that you give according to your ability, in recognition of the self-supporting nature of our community. We sometimes run a deficit at quiet times of the year, particularly July and August, in the hope that we can repay our debt to the Augustinians in September. When we are in surplus, we use the money to pay for improvements to the fabric of the church, including painting, tiling and basic maintenance.
Mass stipends and offerings for baptisms, weddings and other celebrations are given directly to the Priest as a traditional support of his needs.
