The sisters and future brothers need all the support they can get if they are going to maintain, against the trend, the steady growth in numbers, but also, if they are going to achieve their dream of being an instrument in Mary’s hands, contributing to the new evangelisation and the strengthening of faith in England and beyond.
Hence donations can be made to their present project of trying to purchase their first home in Great Walsingham.
On the other hand you can get involved by joining the team of volunteers if you live nearby, offer IT assistance (we always need help in this area, especially if you are a Mac expert) and just offer any talents you wish to share with the community.
How can you help?
There are different ways in which you could channel your donations to the community. Hopefully one of them will suit your present circumstances. It does not matter how much or how little you can give, the sisters will be very grateful for your help and in gratitude, promise to keep their donors names in their prayers.

2. Make an ongoing contribution by standing order.

4. Remembering the Community in Your Will
A legacy is a traditional form of giving to a charity. It is a way of thanking God for the gifts we have received during our lifetime. Once family and loved ones have been provided for, a donation can be made to a charity.
