Thank you for your response to the Shrine’s 2020 Deficit Appeal. Through your support, the £150,000 target has been reached and the Shrine’s finances for 2020 secured.
The Catholic National Shrine of Walsingham is a self-funded charity and relies on the generosity of the faithful to pay for its operating costs.
As a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic, organised pilgrimages have been cancelled and visitor numbers to Walsingham have been massively reduced.
A fully operational Shrine serving the faithful as a place of pilgrimage requires the maintenance of numerous buildings, including the Basilica and Slipper Chapel, Tea Room, Shop, Marian Museum and two Pilgrim Accommodation Centres which are fully staffed.
We are immensely grateful for the generosity of all who have offered their prayers, donations, legacies, purchased items in our retail outlets, stayed in our accommodation or supported us in other ways.
In this first quarter of 2021, we ask pilgrims who may not already do so, to consider signing up to make a small monthly offering to the Shrine. We have a small regular donor base and are seeking to grow this to provide finanicial stability for the future. Other donations are also most welcome and details of other particular campaigns which we invite you to consider are listed below. Our Donation line phone number is 01328 801 048. (The best time to call over is between 10am and 4pm)
If you’d prefer to send a cheque, please make it payable to the “Walsingham Trust” and post it to: The Catholic National Shrine, Pilgrim Bureau, Friday Market Place, Walsingham, Norfolk NR22 6EG.
With our thanks and prayers. All supporters are remembered regularly in the offering of Mass at the Shrine.
COVID-19 aside, our medium-term target is to find:
