A gift in your Will is a meaningful way to support the future of St Mary's Church and the parish community for generations to come.
After providing for your loved ones, you may wish to consider remembering the parish in your Will. Every legacy, whatever its size, helps to sustain our church, care for our buildings, support our mission and ensure that future generations have a place to worship, pray and belong.
Leaving a gift is a deeply personal decision and one that reflects a lasting commitment to the life of the Church.
