Planned Giving using the Numbered Envelope Scheme

The Envelope system provides the twin advantages of simplicity and confidentiality plus all donations can be Gift Aided.

Your giving envelopes come in a coloured box and are uniquely numbered for each week of the year.  When it is placed in the offertory collection by you, your giving remains totally confidential.  This is to ensure that apart from the Gift Aid organizer, no one in the parish, not even the Parish Priest will know how much you donate in your envelopes.
It is completely confidential.

On the mantelpiece or in a drawer, week by week they are a reminder of our commitment to give. There is something to hold in the hand and put in the plate.  Envelopes are also very easy to use and have the attraction of being a very familiar way of giving.

They make our giving far less dependent on weekly attendance at church and they offer real advantages over loose plate giving. If you miss a Sunday you can simply put two envelopes in the offertory plate the following week. It is also helpful for those who wish to manage their money by using cash or cheque, either by preference or by necessity.

Planned Giving using Numbered Envelopes helps you decide what to give to the  each week and it helps you to commit to regular giving and to plan to give what is right rather than what’s left over at the weekend.
