Communion from the chalice

Our bishops have permitted Communion from the Chalice at Mass to resume from the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Maundy Thursday. Bishop Ralph has sent us two documents, originating in the Northampton Diocese, for us to use in preparation for the reintroduction. We have reformatted these but left the content unchanged. One (‘The Eucharist makes the Church’) is an overview of the Mass, the other (‘Take this and drink’) is specifically about Communion from the Chalice. Please read them both.

Preparing for Sundays

Here are two excellent resources to help reflect on the Sunday readings and prepare for Sunday Mass.

Supporting the Parish Financially

Offertory Donations by Standing Order
Please consider making your offertory donations by monthly standing order. The regular income provided by standing orders is very helpful to the parish.

Gift Aid
Also, if you are a tax payer, please consider joining the gift aid scheme. The income raised from Gift Aid forms an important part of our parish income.

Forms
Standing Order / Gift Aid forms are available from the church office or you can download a Gift Aid form here.
Please post the completed form to the parish office, or post it through the parish office letterbox in the church narthex.

Contactless Giving
There is a contactless giving device on the wall in the narthex. Donations can be made with a card, mobile or smart phone in the usual way. You can register for gift aid on donations to the parish. Donations to external charities cannot be gift aided.

Weekly Envelopes
You can donate to the parish via the envelope scheme which enables gift aid to be claimed on cash/cheque donations. Email the office to request an envelope.

Blue Gift Aid Envelopes
Pale blue Gift Aid envelopes are available in the church narthex for gift aiding occasional cash/cheque donations. These can be used for any donation made to the parish.
