Every week we produce a newsletter to let you know what’s going on at St Peter’s – from Mass times to parish events. To keep up to date with everything happening at St Peter’s, please see the newsletter.

We have decided to make cashless options available to parishioners and visitors who may wish to donate. This is intended to add to, not replace, donations by cash and standing order.

In the Church there is a card reader on a stand with a ‘tap and go’ facility. This is set up initially to give the option of donating for the first collection for general parish funds, the second collection and the Christmas offering. Later, it can also be used to cover the 200 club, specific fundraising collections and the special second collections for charities as they occur throughout the year. Where relevant to the type of donation, Gift Aid will also be available.

The system will enable fast payments to be made. The new parish website also has a donation webpage to enable donations to be made through the website through a ‘Donate’ button. A first donation will register the details you enter for your card and for Gift Aid, if you choose to add it to your donation. For the first time you make a donation by card, it may be more convenient to do this at home through the ‘Donate’ button on the parish website, thereby saving time when making future donations using the card reader in Church.

You may have seen the system in use at the Sacred Heart Church in Droitwich, and it is in use in many other churches in our diocese and has proved popular with parishioners and visitors.
