Support Us

Generous giving resources the mission and ministry of the Church and fosters distinctive Christian lifestyles that enable others to be touched by the overflowing generosity of God. St Michael’s and St Mary’s together cost over £2000 a week to run. A fuller breakdown of costs and income can be seen in our budget. Could you make a contribution to help fund our work of care and teaching, as well as the preservation of our historic buildings?

  • The best means of giving to St Michael’s and St Marys is through the Parish Giving Scheme. This is a Direct Debit scheme which passes on Gift Aid straight to the parish so is ideal for cashflow. To join the Parish Giving Scheme or to enquire further, please email our Regular Giving Officer Kath Teal.
  • If you wish to make a one-off donation by BACS, please send to:’St Michaels St Albans Parochial Church Gift Aid‘ account
    Sort Code – 77-95-20
    Account number – 75676160
    • We’d be grateful if you could mark your transfer as ‘church donation [and your name if you wish]‘; this will assist with our bank reconciliation. Do also notify our Regular Giving Officer Kath Teal if your donation qualifies for Gift Aid.
    • Security procedures at some donors’ banks will double-check that you want to make a payment and/or query the accuracy of the above BACs information. The account name, number and sort code are correct! – you may need to override your bank’s over-attentiveness. If needed, please click here for additional guidance from Treasurer Nigel Voyce.
  • Cheques may be sent to the Parish Office at the Vicarage, St Michael’s Street, St Albans, AL3 4SL. Please make payable ‘The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Michael, St Albans’.
  • Gift Aid allows UK taxpayers to increase their donation by twenty five pence for every pound given, at no extra cost to you or us. If you are eligible, please complete a Gift Aid Declaration.
