Last chance to donate to Church Times Train-A-Priest (TAP) Fund

28 March 2024

IT IS Holy Week — and the last week of our Lenten appeal for the Church Times Train-A-Priest (TAP) Fund.

But if you cannot give this week, it not too late. This year’s appeal remains open until just before Pentecost, and we are happy to receive donations all through the year.

As we announced earlier, we have already overtaken last year’s total, thanks in large part to two legacies. But every penny counts, and will go directly to supporting those training for the priesthood in the poorest countries in Africa. And please consider including a sum or a percentage of your estate to the TAP Fund in your will.

Donations can be made quickly and securely online at: churchtimes.co.uk/train-a-priest-fund
