 Please help us build the new St. Joseph's Guest House for ladies

The community is seeking financial help from our friends, especially to help cover the considerable cost of building our new Guest house for Ladies.

God bless all our benefactors! We rely on them, and could not continue without them!

We previously advertised the possibility of marking a donated slate or stone for the new building. The suggested donation was £10 for a slate or £200 for a stone. So a lot of slates and stones now have the names of benefactors, or those for whom they wish to pray, inscribed on them! But the project has now advanced past the point where such marking can be done.

Other ideas for specific gifts will surely be suggested in due time.

For all donations towards the completion of St. Joseph’s Guest House, please contact our Project manager John Gleeson: john@gleesonhbconsultants.co.uk 

God bless you for your generosity.

How to pay, without any extra costs, via JustGiving

The donations Box on this page marked “Donate with JustGiving” offers a convenient way of sending money to the Monastery.

For UK taxpayers who fill in the appropriate boxes, JustGiving will automatically add a 25% Gift Aid top-up to the donation.

The Company claim not to charge a platform fee, but in fact they add a 15% surcharge to every donation received. They call it a “tip”.

Benefactors who may not wish to pay this tip do not need to do so.

Please note that at the end of JustGiving’s transaction dialogue, there is a slide, enabling you to reduce your tip to only 10%. But below that there is a line “Enter custom amount”.

Click on that. You will find some reasons put before you to give a tip to JustGiving. But if you so wish, you can enter a figure in the box they provide: £0.00.

That will be accepted, and your donation will all come to the monastery, without any extra costs!
