St Saviour's has run an annual Gift Day from time immemorial. As well as the congregation, local businesses are invited to contribute to our funds too. Why?

a) At St Saviour's. like everywhere else these days, costs are increasing and our regular income through giving falls short of the total amount required to keep us solvent. We have not been able to fund raise publically until recently and so have not had our usual Summer Fayre.

b) We seek to be very much a community church, contributing to the life of Ravensthorpe, irrespective of creed, race or religion. So we are involved with the local schools, have been instrumental in founding the Hope Cafe for everyone, and joint founders Ravensthorpe in Bloom. We are part of the Food Bank in Thornhill Lees from the outset in March 2020. 

We can marshall volunteers and co-operate with other community and faith organisations to try and make life better in Ravesnthorpe.

c) We are a long-standing community resource concerned with the religious and spiritual aspects of life. Witness our Book of Condolence recently made available in the Church porch, and available for anyone to sign. And come they did! Just one of the ways we contribute to the life of our community.

Please support our appeal for funds as generously as you can. 

Gifts can be handed into the Church from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Sunday 25th September, when the Church will be open. You can also donate by contacting our priest, Fr George on 07388507282, who will figure out how to collect and pass on a payment.
