Update to Maintaining the Parish 13th May 2020
Thank you for visiting this page. With no Sunday Mass collections, your giving matters now more than ever.
There are various ways to contribute to the parish.
If you do online banking, the quickest and most direct way to donate is with a bank transfer. If you can, please also consider a monthly gift by Standing Order. Our account details are:
Account Name: Westminster Roman Catholic Diocese Trustee
Church of The Transfiguration Kensal Rise
This is the parish account’s full name in the banking system. You only need quote the first line.
Sort Code: 40-05-20
Account Number: 41094882
Please add your Surname and First Name as a reference, to help our bookkeeper.
If you are a taxpayer, please Gift Aid your donation. The government will top up your gift by 25 percent, meaning a £20 offering becomes £25, at no cost to you.
The quickest and easiest way to do Gift Aid now is to send an email to giftaid@rcdow.org.uk with the following information:
– Your parish name
– Your title, first name and surname
– Your address and postcode
– The date of your gift, or start date of Standing Order
– The amount
– Please add the line: ‘Please Gift Aid my donations’

Maintaining The Parish 8th May 2020
Dear parishioners,
Many people have contacted us recently to ask for the Parish's bank details to allow them to set up a standing order. For this we are very grateful.
Under the current government restrictions, there is no way for us to get the planned giving envelopes distributed to those of you who use this method to contribute. There is also no weekly collection as Masses are being live streamed, sadly without any of you physically present.
The loss of a regular income has taken it's toll on the Parish finances and of course this does not only include the Sunday collection, but also candle money, papers, Lenten Alms, clergy stole fees, Baptisms etc, and your Easter offering to the priest.
If you are not in a position to help due to a change in your financial situation, please ignore this email.
If you would like to switch over from the planned giving system to standing order, I have detailed the bank details below that you will need to do this, for your convenience.
Bank : HSBC
Account Name : Westminster Roman Catholic Diocese Trustee Kensal Rise
Sort Code : 40-05-20
Account Number : 41094882
I do hope you are all keeping safe and well, and I look forward to a time when we can all meet again.

Come Together 8th May 2020
Dear parishioners,
You are probably all familiar with how technology is keeping people in touch with loved ones, and how this has become our "normal" way of life. It brings people together, and helps us to feel connected with those we haven't been able to see during this very difficult time.
As it is a bank holiday, and hopefully the home-schooling and work, for many, is off of the agenda for the next few days, I was hoping we could focus on reaching out to fellow Parishioners. I want us all to come together to send messages of encouragement, hope, and entertainment to our fellow parishioners.
If you would like to take part, please send me an email or a message on Facebook, attaching a video of yourself or your family, either speaking, singing, playing a musical instrument, dancing, even cleaning! (I know the latter is what I am spending a lot of my time doing!)
I can then compile these videos together, and I can upload it to the website and our Facebook page for us all to enjoy!
I really do hope that you will all participate, I know it would put a smile on everyone's faces, to be able to see each other for the first time in such a long time, albeit, in the form of a video.
If you need any inspiration, or a motivational confidence boost, please contact me. I am hoping this will be a lovely reminder of how close we are as a Parish, and how even at a distance, we can come together, as one family.
Best wishes,
Chelsea Bottomley
