The Diocese of Paisley has set up a St. Mirin’s Fund to disburse the funds of the Episcopal Charities and the Bishop’s Fund.  The Fund will begin on the First Sunday of Advent and then the Fund team, chaired by Canon Peter McGarry, will be making around £10,000 worth of grants annually to projects in the diocese or led by parishioners of the diocese that help to build up the Kingdom of God or alleviate special need.
