This collection supports the Scottish Catholic Education Service (SCES) which promotes and protects our Catholic schools in issues of national significance, and supports our schools, parishes and dioceses.  The national office supports three employees and we also employ four part-time local members of staff to work in our schools and on the RE curriculum.  In 2020 this collection and our Friends Campaign raised £9,447, which represents 16% of our expenditure of £57,485, resulting in a deficit of £48,038. Pre-Covid-19 (in 2019) the income was £18,529 and expenditure was £38,488 resulting in a deficit of £19,406. Our 2019 education income therefore was 48% of our expenditure. You can donate easily to this collection by visiting our ‘Online Parish Offertory’ page.  This allows you to donate to any of the causes or parishes of your choice.  Many thanks
