Ways to Give Something Back

First, we always need your prayers and support, so please keep us in your daily prayer. 

Second, could you volunteer your time and talent to the service of your parish or to the wider Diocese. If you are interested in giving more of your time and talents to build up the Catholic community serving others, then we recommend that in the first instance you either contact your local parish or use the contacts below.

Third, please give generously to your parish, or simply make a donation to wider diocesan needs. Your contribution will go towards projects helping those in need, strengthening the Church’s mission and providing for the priests and people of the future Catholic Church of Lancashire (North of the Ribble) and Cumbria.

Fourth, leave us a legacy in your will.    

If you wish to nominate your parish and or other parts of the Diocese as a beneficiary under your will (as a Charity bequests made to the Church will not attract inheritance tax) you may wish to consider the following wording:

"I give to the Lancaster Roman Catholic Diocesan Trust (LRCDT) for the benefit of:

*The Parish of.............. the sum of £xxxxxxx (and in words)

*The Sick & Retired Priests Fund the sum of £xxxxxxxx (and in words)

*The Ecclesiastical Education Fund  the sum of  £xxxxxxxx  (and in words)

*The Bishop of the Diocese the sum of  £xxxxxxxx (and in words)

The General purposes of the Diocese the sum of  £xxxxxxxx (and in words)

- Select one or more of the above-

...free of duty and I declare that the receipt of the Financial Administrator of LRCDTR at the Finance Office, The Pastoral Centre, Balmoral Road, Lancaster, LA1 3BT shall be a good discharge (LRCDTR Charity No. 234331."
