At the start of the Covid pandemic, the Diocese of Paisley set up online giving with PAYA Charity to allow Parishioners to donate to their Parishes while unable to attend Mass in person. Since PAYA Charity no longer provide this service, we have moved to Charities Trust. Below, you will find the new links.

The most efficient way to donate on a regular basis to your Parish is by using standing orders, which can be set up using a form or using online banking.  The Charities Trust however is a useful additional way of giving to your Parish, and allows visitors to Parishes to make one-off donations.

Thank you for your continued support. For more information, contact Mr Philip McEachen, Diocesan Finance Manager, at finance.manager@rcdop.org.uk.

Monsignor Joe and Father Ryan really appreciate the support that so many continue to provide.

Gift Aid and Standing Orders

If you pay tax and you haven’t already signed a Gift Aid declaration for the parish, please do so. All your contributions will be augmented by 25% at no cost to you. In the year 2021-2022, the Gift Aid on contributions to the cathedral parish amounted to £18,000+.

The most reliable and secure way to contribute to your parish is via Standing Order. To do so is to ensure a regular contribution is made, either weekly, monthly or annually. Although weekly and monthly Standing Orders are more practical for the administration of the parishes, we understand that a single, one-off contribution annually might better suit your needs. We encourage as many people as possible to set up a Standing Order. Please note that we can claim Gift Aid on all contributions made via Standing Order as long as a Gift Aid declaration has been completed and returned.
