Parish Share This year we need to find £29,284 to pay Gloucester City Deanery. We are still being supported by other parishes in the Deanery, otherwise we would be expected to pay £52,495. By 2016 we will need to be paying the full Quota which will be in excess of £60,000. For this reason please sign up to the planned giving, if you are able, and those who are already paying by this method, please rethink your contribution for this year.
