Crib Offerings

We will be donating our crib offering to The Catholic Children’s Society’s Southwark Crisis Fund which helps families in our Archdiocese who are facing a crisis in their lives.

Christmas Offering Envelopes Available On The Newsletter Table
The offertory collection taken during the Midnight & Christmas Day Masses is traditionally your personal gift to your Fr. Jose. A priest’s income is normally whatever he receives from the parish (mainly Mass offerings). This collection at Christmas forms an important part of Fr. Jose’s income for the year and enables him to meet personal expenses. If you can gift aid your offering, the parish can benefit from the tax refund. To do so write your name and address on the envelope provided, or use one of the Gift Aid envelopes available in the church foyer. Offerings made by cheque must be made payable to “St. Simon Stock Catholic Church”. You can also make your Christmas offering using the contactless machine in the church foyer. If you are away at Christmas, you can hand in your offering before you go or on your return.
