Since PAYA Charity no longer provide this service, we have moved to Charities Trust. Below, you will find the new links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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. &nbsp;The Charities Trust however is a useful additional way of giving to your Parish, and allows visitors to Parishes to make one-off donations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you for your continued support. For more information, contact Mr Philip McEachen, Diocesan Finance Manager, at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:finance.manager@rcdop.org.uk\">finance.manager@rcdop.org.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monsignor Joe and Father Ryan really appreciate the support that so many continue to provide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/sponsorme.charitiestrust.org\/beneficiary\/352f94e5-6c25-44a4-bd4c-7d2bb5f9463c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Donate to St Mirin&#8217;s Cathedral Parish<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">Gift Aid<\/mark> <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">and Standing Orders<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you pay tax and you haven\u2019t 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 \u00a318,000+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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&nbsp;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.<br><br><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">St Mirin&#8217;s Forms<\/mark><\/strong><br>To access a Gift Aid declaration for St Mirin&#8217;s parish, click <a href=\"https:\/\/stmirinscathedral.us10.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=9b701f16a91334a6d2895d5b0&amp;id=ade807f960&amp;e=2de9986b86\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<br>To access a Standing Order form for St Mirin&#8217;s parish, click:<br>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/stmirinscathedral.us10.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=9b701f16a91334a6d2895d5b0&amp;id=36ec2ab920&amp;e=2de9986b86\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>, if you bank with Clydesdale, Virgin Money or Yorkshire Bank (but not Yorkshire Building Society)<br>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/stmirinscathedral.us10.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=9b701f16a91334a6d2895d5b0&amp;id=982e69e067&amp;e=2de9986b86\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>, if you bank with any other bank (for example, Bank of Scotland, Royal Bank of Scotland, etc.)<br><br><strong>Returns<\/strong><br>Please return all completed declarations and forms to Fr Joe or Fr Ryan, either by email or through the letterbox at Cathedral House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">Leaving A Gift in Your Will<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have made sure that your loved ones will receive something after you go to your eternal reward, you might consider leaving a gift in your Will to St Mirin&#8217;s Cathedral parish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Giving money to a charity in your Will is a great way to leave a positive legacy for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information about this, please call Cathedral House to speak with a priest, or the Diocese of Paisley Finance Office on 0141 847 6131.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out more about how you can support the cathedral parish below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":933,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-511","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stmirinscathedral.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stmirinscathedral.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stmirinscathedral.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stmirinscathedral.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stmirinscathedral.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=511"}],"version-history":[{"count":24,"href":"https:\/\/stmirinscathedral.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/511\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1685,"href":"https:\/\/stmirinscathedral.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/511\/revisions\/1685"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stmirinscathedral.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/933"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stmirinscathedral.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
