Fundraising (WEEF)

"Ask the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest." (Lk 10:2)

2007 saw the highest intake of students to Allen Hall in six years. This is wonderful news and very positive for the Church in our diocese, but...

...we still need your help.

Pray for vocations

The Lord does provide labourers for his harvest, and the increase in young men coming forward to discern a vocation to the priesthood is no doubt due in part to the renewed emphasis on prayer for vocations.

Thank you for your prayers.

Financial help

There are a number of ways you can contribute to the fund for the training of priests for our diocese.

Donations: an annual donation (£10, £20, £50, £100) will help to provide books and other necessities.
Sponsorship: gifts of £200+ will support the teaching required and provide for students who have no independent means.
Bequests: leaving us something in your will helps to secure and build up a capital fund for our future.

Please contact us for more information.
