In this important new post, you will take the lead role in helping parishes to engage their parishioners to consider how they can support their local parish with their skills and enthusiasm & also financially. Working closely with parish finance committees and clergy, you will guide them through Stewardship Campaigns and help to encourage Parish Giving through regular donations and Gift Aid. Over 3 years, we expect that you will have worked with every parish in the Diocese. As the post develops, you will also have the opportunity to help develop capital appeals and help with fundraising projects and events.
The Diocese of East Anglia is a growing part of the Catholic Church with record ordinations of new priests, hard-working clergy and committed volunteers. We want to build on this growth to support stewardship within our 51 parishes and give everyone the opportunity to contribute their time and talents to the mission of the Church.
