Coronavirus - Do You Need Support?
A Message From Rev David King:
“The current coronavirus outbreak is both deeply unsettling, but also a reminder of what a precious comfort it is to know the Lord Jesus. We know that God has not abandoned us, that he remains in control and is caring for us, and that even the very worst outcome, though a hard path, is the way to eternal life for those who put their trust in Jesus.”

Financial Support
St Patrick’s Church
Compassion Fund: It is likely that, because of COVID-19, some members of our church family will face times of considerable financial hardship. The St Patrick’s Compassion Fund is aimed at facilitating us to support one of our church family financially when they fall on hard times, and to be able to do so in a confidential way.
More information about the fund as well as an application form can be found here:
