DONATIONS

WHY?
In order to be able to survive and to respond to the needs of its parishioners and to those of its mission, all the activities of Notre Dame de France depend on the generosity of our benefactors.

Our parish does not receive any financial support from the state or the Catholic Diocese of Westminster.

It is not a parish as such but an ethnic chaplaincy.

Its annual budget is £200.000 which covers running costs which do not take into account major refurbishment work which have taken place recently in 2003 and 2004 and then in 2006 for Maison Pierre Chanel, 16 Leicester Square.

The activities of our mission range from:

preparation to the sacraments
catechesis and chaplaincy at Notre Dame de France
catechesis and chaplaincy at the French primary schools and Lycee
support given to prayer groups
outreach activities such as services to refugees, homeless, older or housebound people
participaton in the pastoral activities of the Westend with other local churches or organisations

HOW?

Gift Aid
Provided that you are a tax payer in Britain, the Gift Aid system will enable the parish to claim the taxes back on your donation (28 %).

If you make a donation, you will be allocated a donor's number which ensures that the amount that you give remains confidential.

You may contribute through one single donation or several weekly or monthly payments. Envelopes with your number will be sent to your home address for this purpose.
