Crossing the Threshold/Open Door

CROSSING  THE  THRESHOLD . . . is an initiative from the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales which aims to encourage and welcome lapsed (or "resting") Catholics back to the Church.

This is a project which needs as many people as possible to be actively involved. Simple things are a huge help – looking out for unfamiliar faces at Mass, and being ready to smile and chat, so that strangers and visitors feel welcome, for instance.

Some of the ideas we have come up with are already in play: this new website, the Facebook page, the Annual Remembrance Service, an Advent Service and a Lenten Service.

Any suggestions? Feel free to get in touch.

Thank you,

Amanda, Ann, Antonia, and Marika

Gift Aid Scheme

St Georges Church is a charitable body which is able to benefit from Gift Aid donations. If you are a UK taxpayer, you could add 20p to every pound you give to St George’s parish at no extra cost to yourself through the Gift Aid scheme. For example, if you give £10 to St George’s using Gift Aid, that gift is worth £12.82 to us.

The basic requirement of the Gift Aid scheme is that you complete a simple Gift Aid Declaration, (download here) confirming that you are a taxpayer and that you are happy for us to reclaim the tax on your donations. If you do not pay tax, you should not use Gift Aid.

For further information about the Gift Aid scheme at St George’s, please contact the Gift Aid Organiser, Seamus O Neill.

PLEASE MAKE EVERY POUND YOU GIVE WORTH 20% MORE TO ST GEORGE’S BY SIGNING A GIFT AID DECLARATION.
