Dear friends and benefactors
The roof of St. Walburge’s is in urgent need of repair and it is vital this is done soon to prevent further damage.
Sponsoring a slate helps to fund the necessary re-roofing and preserve this iconic building for the generations to come.
For just £10 you can sponsor a slate in the name of anyone you choose. Perhaps you would like to remember a loved one, celebrate a marriage, wedding anniversary, Christening or Confirmation or simply give as a Christmas or birthday present. Companies can also sponsor slates and it’s possible to sponsor a row or even a whole section.
The names of all sponsors will be recorded in a dedicated Book of Sponsors which will become a permanent part of the heritage of St. Walburge’s Shrine Church.
All sponsors will receive:
