The Friends of St Michael’s – A Progress Report

Your response in the first year of the Friends of St Michael’s has been generous indeed. The amount paid or pledged during that year was about 19,000 euros (or £13,000) in all.

This amount includes some one-off contributions and I estimate the amount pledged so far which could be classed as continuing income at around 6,000 – 8,000 euros a year.

The annual income of the chaplaincy over the past few years has been around 30,000 euros, of which around 11,000 euros is from the collection – so the income from the Friends and Patrons will be a great help.

The priority now is to sustain the momentum and to encourage as many Friends and Patrons as possible to continue their support.
